INSTALLING AND SECURING YOUR SMART BOARD V280 INTERACTIVE 
WHITEBOARD
Installing Your SMART Board V280 
Interactive Whiteboard
Before Installing Your Interactive Whiteboard
Before you install your SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard, choose a location 
that’s protected from direct sunlight. Bright light sources, such as a window 
with exposure to direct sunlight, can reduce the contrast of the projected image 
and might affect the performance of your interactive whiteboard’s infrared technology.
Also consider where you installed, or plan to install or position, your projector. Position 
your projector and interactive whiteboard at the correct height and distance apart 
so that the projected image aligns with the display screen. Remember to leave 
enough room on either side of your interactive whiteboard for you to stand beside it.
NOTE
You can also mount your SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard 
on a floor stand. For more information, see Appendix C on page 67.
Recommended Heights for Wall-Mounting
Consider the general height of your user community when you choose a height for 
your wall-mounted interactive whiteboard. If your interactive whiteboard is too low, it 
might force some people to bend over uncomfortably. If it’s too high, other people 
might need to reach up too far. For adults of average height, position your interactive 
whiteboard’s wall-mounting bracket 78 5/8" (2 m) above the floor. The distance to the 
top of your interactive whiteboard will be 84" (213.4 cm).
For children, shorter adults and adults in wheelchairs, position your interactive 
whiteboard’s wall-mounting bracket 60 3/4" (154.3 cm) above the floor. The distance 
to the top of your interactive whiteboard will be 66" (167.7 cm). 
WARNING
Two people are required to safely mount your SMART Board V280 interactive 
whiteboard on a wall or a floor stand because it might be too large for one person 
to safely maneuver alone. When you lift your interactive whiteboard, you and your 
assistant should stand on either side of the screen, supporting its weight at the 
bottom corners while balancing the top with your other hands.
NOTE
When you mount your interactive whiteboard lower on the wall, keep it high 
enough that furniture or other objects won’t obstruct the projected image.
