Overview
Your SMART Board M600 series interactive whiteboard’s USB interface enables you to connect your
interactive whiteboard to your computer. The included USB cable provides a digital signal from your
computer to your interactive whiteboard, and the included power supply provides power to the
interactive whiteboard.
Matching your computer’s resolution to your projector’s resolution
Ensure that the resolution settings for your projector and computer match. If your computer’s
resolution doesn’t match the projector’s native resolution, the image doesn’t properly fill the
interactive surface and can shimmer or appear distorted.
Set the projector to its optimal image resolution by following the instructions included with your
projector, and then set your computer’s resolution to match. If you need help changing your
computer’s resolution, see the instructions included with your operating system.
You might need to adjust your computer’s refresh rate to obtain the best results. Set the computer to
an initial refresh rate of 60 Hz, and then adjust this rate up or down to determine the ideal refresh rate.
For more information on changing your computer’s refresh rate, see the instructions included with
your operating system.
