Connecting the receiver

Important

Do not connect the receiver to your computer until after you install SMART Response software.
For operating safety and to prevent damage to the receiver, connect its USB connector only to a computer that has a USB compliant interface and that bears the USB logo. In addition, the USB source computer must be compliant with CSA/UL/EN 60950 and bear the CE mark and CSA and/or UL mark(s) for CSA/UL 60950.
The receiver has a USB 2.0 full-speed peripheral interface that runs at speeds of up to 12 Mbps. The unit works with USB 2.0- and USB 1.1-compliant USB interfaces.

Recommended height for mounting the receiver

Unlike infrared devices, SMART Response receivers don’t require an unobstructed line-of-sight transmission path, such as that required by infrared devices. You can operate SMART Response over longer distances if you minimize interference, signal reflections and the number and size of objects between the receiver and the clickers.

Choose a location for the receiver that’s as high as possible and in plain view of the students’ clickers. For permanent installations, use a USB extender to mount the receiver high on a wall. To minimize interference from other radio-frequency equipment, position the receiver away from other wireless products, such as 2.4 GHz routers and cordless telephones.

Warning

To prevent product damage or personal injury, route the USB cable where it will not be stepped on or tripped over.
