Calibrating your interactive whiteboard

Digital cameras in the corners of the interactive whiteboard track the position of the pens and your
finger on the interactive surface, and then send the information to the SMART software, which
interprets this information as mouse clicks, digital ink or ink removal in the appropriate location.
If you haven't used your interactive whiteboard before, you must perform a calibration. This process
ensures that the cameras accurately track your finger and the pens on the interactive surface. If the
system detects incorrect calibration parameters, a warning bubble may also appear recommending
that you perform a calibration.
To calibrate your interactive whiteboard
1. The first time you connect your interactive whiteboard, press the Please calibrate the
SMART Board interactive whiteboard pop-up bubble that appears in the bottom right corner of
your screen.
If the pop-up doesn't appear, click the SMART software icon in the Windows notification area or
Mac Dock and select SMART Settings > SMART Hardware Settings > Advanced >
Calibrate.
