To verify the connection of your SMART TV or Board, navigate to the bottom-right corner of your screen and locate the system tray. Click on the upward-facing arrow to expand the tray, where you should see the relevant icon.

If the SMART icon displays an "X" next to it, this indicates that there is no connection to the board. To establish a connection, please follow these steps:

Right click on the icon and select "SMART Settings".

Once in **SMART Settings**, you will notice that the SMART Board is not connected. Select **"Connection Wizard"** to proceed.

After the scan is complete, your board will appear in the highlighted area below.

If the SMART Board still appears as not connected, please contact the SCSOS IT department, as there may be an issue with the device.

Once the board is successfully connected, you may close the Connection Wizard.

In the system tray at the bottom-right corner of your screen, click the arrow. The symbol should now resemble the image shown below.
