What is SMART Table

SMART Table is the first multitouch,

multiuser interactive learning center that

allows groups of early education students to

work simultaneously on one surface.

SMART Table

Cleaning SMART Table

Use an alcohol free glass cleaner, such as Windex

glass cleaner, to clean the surface at regular intervals.

You can also use a vinegar & water or a bleach &

water solution to clean & disinfect your table.

IMPORTANT

Avoid touching the table surface until the

projector starts up and an image appears.

Because the table is touch sensitive even

though you cannot see an image, you could

disrupt the start-up process or open activities

unintentionally.
