Orienting the Smart board matches up the cursor with the projected computer image so you can select objects or write on the board easily.  Ideally, the projector should be perpendicular to the middle of the screen.  If this is not possible, then get as close as you can.

You must orient the Smart board upon initial installation, or if your whiteboard or projector has been moved or jostled. 

• Lock wheels in place on Smart Board.

• The Smart Board tools should automatically startup with your computer once the software is loaded.  Check the lower right-hand corner of the screen for the Smart Board Tools Icon.

• If the icon is not present in the system tray, double click the Smart Board Tools Desktop Icon.

• Click the Smart Board Icon in the System Tray and select the Orient option from the menu that appears.
• Make your choice for Orientation and click on Next
  • There are 3 choices for orientation -- Quick (9 points) Standard (20 points) and Fine (80 points).  The higher the points, the more accurate tracking will be.

• On the surface of the Smart Board, use one of the tray pens to press each of the red crosses.

Tip:  It is important to follow the path of the Press Here white arrow.

• Once all the red crosses are accurately pressed, use your finger (or tray pen) to close the Smart Board Tools Menu.

Caution:  Once the Smart Board is oriented, be careful not to jostle or move it.  This will cause the orientation to be lost and you will need to perform the orientation procedure again.

• To reorient with minimal interruption, simultaneously press and hold the two Smart pen Tray Buttons to begin the orientation process.
