Installation guide

10 Installing the Slate
• When the battery is nearly empty, the Power indicator flashes slowly. The slate may stop
operating properly and will soon turn itself off. Connect the slate to an external power source
immediately using the power adapter cable. You may continue working while the battery is
recharging.
• You can’t extend the battery’s life by completely draining the battery’s charge before you
recharge it.
Installing SMART Board Software
Without SMART Board software installed, you can use the slate as an alternative to a mouse.
However, to use all the functions offered by the slate, you must install SMART Board software on
the connected computer.
NOTE: If you uninstall SMART Board software, you can’t use these additional functions, but you
may still use the slate as a mouse device. For information on uninstalling SMART Board software,
refer to the SMART Board software online Help.
1. If you haven’t already done so, turn on the computer.
2. Close all open applications.
3. Insert the SMART Board software CD into your CD drive. The CD starts automatically.
If the CD doesn’t start automatically:
– for Windows computers, select Start > Run and enter x:\autorun.exe (where x: is your
CD drive).
– for Macintosh computers, click the SMART Installer icon to open your CD drive and
double-click the Software application file.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Installing the Underlay
Included with your slate is an underlay, which you can insert between the slate’s workspace and
the transparent overlay. Printed on the underlay is a tool strip, enabling you to activate functions
and launch software by pressing the appropriate icon with the pen.
1. Locate the two locking sliders on each side of the slate, and slide them towards the slate’s top
edge.
