Flowchart 4: The Ready light is flashing green
This is the normal mouse mode state when SMART Product Drivers isn’t installed on
your computer. This mode can be useful for occasional or guest users who don’t
require the use of SMART Board tools or pen tray functions.
Before you can use the SMART Board tools or the pen tray pens and eraser,
SMART Product Drivers must be installed and running. If the SMART Board icon
doesn’t appear in the Windows® notification area or Mac Dock, you must start
SMART Product Drivers.

If another user has reassigned the pen, eraser
or pen tray button functions, the tools might not
work as expected. You can return them to
normal operation by using the SMART
software control panel to change SMART
hardware settings.
To reset the interactive whiteboard, use a long,
narrow object, such as a ball-point pen, to
press the recessed Reset button briefly (less
than three seconds). Alternatively, disconnect
the power cable from the wall, and connect it
again.
Calibrate the cameras to ensure that the
cameras accurately track your finger and the
pens. To calibrate the cameras, ensure your
projector’s image fills as much of the
interactive surface as possible, and then select
View > SBX800/SBID8070i Bar > Calibrate.
Use a soft cloth to dust the camera lens covers.
CAUTION:
Do not use compressed air to clean the
cameras or the lens covers.
