Installation guide

Installing the Slate 5
Installing the Slate
To install the AirLiner WS100 wireless slate, you need to:
• enable the wireless connection (this page)
• install the battery (this page)
• recharge the battery (page 7)
• install SMART Board software on the connected computer (page 10)
• install the underlay (page 10)
• install the anti-slip feet (page 11)
Enabling the Wireless Connection
The slate connects to your computer using Bluetooth wireless technology. This is a radio-
frequency technology, so the slate doesn’t necessarily need to have a line of sight to your
computer. The radio signal can pass through non-metallic objects such as walls and bookshelves.
However, interference from other networks that operate in the 2.4 GHz band, other devices that
connect to your computer and use Bluetooth wireless technology (especially audio devices), and
metallic objects in or along the line of sight can negatively impact the slate’s performance and
operating distance.
If you choose not to install the provided adapter, you must either use a computer with built-in
Bluetooth wireless support, or purchase and install a commercially available USB-to-Bluetooth
wireless adapter. If you choose to install an adapter other than the one supplied, purchase an
adapter that complies with Bluetooth wireless specification v1.2 or higher with a Human Interface
Device (HID) profile.
NOTE: The equipment described in this manual generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency
energy. If the equipment isn’t installed and used properly, it may cause interference with radio or
television reception.
If you wish to install the supplied Bluetooth wireless adapter, or purchase and install a
commercially available USB-to-Bluetooth wireless adapter, connect this adapter to an available
USB port on the required computer, install the adapter’s driver software, and enable the wireless
connection as detailed in the instructions that came with your adapter.
If you wish to use a computer with built-in Bluetooth wireless support, ensure that the support is
enabled. For more information, see the instructions that came with your computer.
Installing the Battery
Before you can use the slate, you must install the provided rechargeable battery.
