Other Precautions
To ensure operating safety and to avoid product damage, observe the following precautions.
• Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location. When the unit
is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture might condense on the lens and crucial internal parts.
To prevent the unit from possible damage, do not use it for at least two hours when there is an extreme
or sudden change in temperature.
• Do not place the unit in hot locations, such as near heating equipment, which can cause a malfunction
and shorten the life of the projector.
• Do not set up or use the interactive whiteboard in an area with excessive levels of dust, humidity
and smoke.
• Do not add extra weight or apply pressure to the Unifi 45 projector arm, the wall-mounted interactive
whiteboard or its pen tray. SMART Technologies designed the brackets to support only the weight
of the components during normal use.
• In a high altitude location where air is thin, cooling efficiency is reduced. Therefore, use the projector
with the fan mode set to High.
• Do not turn the projector’s master power switch off unless you have been instructed to do so by an
accredited SMART technical support specialist. If you repeatedly turn this switch on and off, you could
damage your Unifi 45 projector. Instead, use the power button on the Extended Control Panel (ECP)
to turn your interactive whiteboard system on and off.
• Before you clean your Unifi 45 projector, turn off the power button on the ECP, and then turn off the master
power switch on the back of the projector. Wait 15 minutes for the projector to cool before cleaning the unit.
Turn the projector’s master power switch back on when you’re finished.
• After you turn the system off, wait at least 15 minutes until the system cools completely before turning
the system on again. Avoid cycling the system off and on, which can lock or damage the system or
its components.
• Do not allow liquids or commercial solvents of any kind to flow into the projector base or head. Do not use
spray cleaners or solvents near any part of the projector because they might damage or stain the unit.
• To reduce the risk associated with leaking batteries:
– use only AA type batteries
– do not mix used and new batteries
– orient the battery’s plus (+) and minus (-) terminals according to the markings found on the
remote control
– do not leave the batteries in the remote control for an extended period of time
– do not heat, disassemble, short or recharge the batteries, or expose them to fire or high temperature
– avoid eye and skin contact if batteries have leaked
– dispose of exhausted batteries and product components in accordance with applicable regulations
• If the interactive whiteboard system requires replacement parts, make sure that the service technician uses
replacement parts specified by SMART Technologies, or parts with the same characteristics as the original.
