For Windows operating systems, select Start > Programs > SMART Board Software > SMART

The SMART Board icon appears in your system tray.
For Macintosh computers, open the SMART Board Software folder and select SMART Board
Tools .
The SMART Board tools button appears in the Dock.
Orienting SMART Board Software
Although SMART Board software assigns a default orientation that is normally adequate, you may
want to orient your interactive whiteboard to ensure the greatest possible level of accuracy. By
orienting the interactive whiteboard, you ensure that the computer accurately tracks your contact
with the screen.
The default orientation level is a Standard (9-point) orientation. If you find this level isn’t precise
enough, use the Fine (20-point) orientation level. You may also use the Quick (4-point) orientation
level.
1. Press the SMART Board icon in the system tray (Windows computers) or in the Dock (Mac
computers) and select Orient .
The orientation screen appears.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions, pressing your finger squarely on each cross.
NOTE: If you press on the crosses out of sequence or inaccurately, a Bad Orientation Point
dialog box appears. Use the mouse to click OK , because touch awareness isn’t available.
3. When the orientation screen disappears, test the orientation by moving your finger across the
interactive whiteboard. The pointer should track your finger very closely, and appear directly
beneath the center of your fingertip.
NOTE: If the pointer doesn’t accurately track your finger, you may need to calibrate the digital
cameras (page 35).
1. Press the SMART Board icon in the system tray (Windows computers) or in the Dock (Mac
computers) and select Control Panel .
2. Select SMART Board Settings .
3. From the Hardware Info & Settings list, select Alignment/Orientation Precision .
4. Press Quick (4 points) or Fine (20 points) .
5. Press OK .
6. Perform the 4-point or 20-point orientation.
NOTE: This setting will remain in effect for all subsequent orientations until you perform steps
1 through 5 again, restore the default (Standard) orientation or otherwise change the
orientation level.
