Bluetooth Connection Status Light Indicators Automatic Connection

Status Light Indicator

1. Plug in the power cord to the SMART Board 2. Plug in the USB Bluetooth receiver to the computer a. Due to the size of the receiver, it is recommended to connect the receiver to a USB extension cord which normally comes with the receiver b. If possible, install the receiver in a location difficult to be seen as to avoid potential theft 3. The receiver drivers should install automatically 4. Once the drivers have installed, the Bluetooth transmitter and receiver should synchronize automatically 5. Synchronization is complete when the status light indicator on the right side of the SMART Board frame turns solid green Manual Connection

Bluetooth Receiver and Transmitter

Occasionally the Bluetooth connection will need to be configured manually. This happens for a variety of reasons. 1. On the back of the computer, there should be what looks like a large, gray flash drive with a small, red button on it. Press and hold the red button until the green light starts flashing rapidly. 2. Go to the right side of the SMART Board. There are two green lights. One is visible from the front, on the frame. The other is a small light on the back of the SMART board on a gray box. 3. Near the small light, there is a small, black button. Press and hold this button until it starts flashing rapidly as well. 4. The lights should turn red. Eventually, after 15-45 seconds they should turn solid green (this is the indicator that the Bluetooth in the computer and SMART Board are talking). 5. If the green light is solid, then everything should be functioning properly. 6. If at this time, the green light on the front of the SMART Board is still blinking, you will need to restart your computer.

Solid Green

Indicates SMART Board is working correctly.

Status Light Indicators Flashing Green Solid Red

Indicates SMART Board software is not installed, is corrupt, or connection has been interrupted.

Ordering What is Ordering? Ordering is used for changing the layer position of objects on a page. When an object is inserted on a page, it is by default, on top of everything else on the page. Normally not an issue, but perhaps you’ve typed all the necessary text onto your page first, then went back to add color and images to page. To place the objects behind the text, you will need to adjust the order. How to Change the Order of an Object 1. Select the object that needs to change order position 2. Click on the object drop-down arrow 3. Click on the desired option

Order Options Bring to Front – sends the active object to the front most position on the page. Object will float on top of all other objects on the page. ABC  BCA Send to Back – sends the active object to the back most position on the page. Object will float behind all other objects on the page. ABC  CAB Bring Forward – moves the object towards the front of the page one layer (or object) at a time. ABC  ACB Send Backward – moves the object towards the back of the page one layer (or object) at a time. ABC  BAC Original
