The projector image can slip if the projector is moved often or installed in a location prone to vibration,

such as next to a heavy door. Follow these precautions to help prevent the image from becoming

misaligned:

l

Make sure that the installation wall is plumb and square and doesn’t move or vibrate

excessively.

l

Make sure that there are no obstructions behind the projector’s wall-mounting bracket, and that

the bracket is firmly secured to the wall according to the installation instructions.

l

Confirm that all cables are held in place with the appropriate cable clip.

l

Adjust the projected image. See the included

SMART Board 885ix interactive whiteboard

system installation guide

page 21.

Resolving audio issues

The projector doesn’t have integrated speakers, but you can connect an audio system to the audio

output connector in the projector’s connection panel. If no sound is coming from your audio system,

perform the following procedure.

g

To resolve audio issues

1. Ensure that the speakers’ or audio system’s cables are properly connected to the audio output

plug on the projector’s connection panel.

2. Press the

Mute

button on the projector’s remote control, and if Audio Mute is on, turn it off.

3. Check the ECP’s volume knob or use the projector’s remote control to ensure that the volume

isn’t at the lowest setting.

4. Ensure that your speaker or audio system is on and that the volume is turned up.

5. Check that your source input, such as your computer or video device, isn’t malfunctioning.

Ensure that its audio output is on and that the volume isn’t set to the lowest position.

N

  N O T E

You must display the source input’s video to play its audio through the connected speakers

or audio system.

6. If the previous steps don’t resolve the issue, contact your authorized SMART reseller.
