How to Properly Connect and Manage HKMLC Smart Board Power Cord？

Connection to Power — ensure the power connection of your HKMLC Smart Board is done correctly in order for the HKMLC Smart Board to work. Your power cord provides a power supply that your Smart Board needs to power itself. Here in this guide, we will guide you on respective setup and explanation of why and how to manage the HKMLC Smart Board power cord.

Let’s go ahead, unbox and inspect the power cord.

Before the Setup

Before the setup, the first thing you want to do is take the HKMLC Smart Board power cord box and check to see if the cord is ok or damaged at all. Check the cord and connectors for damage. If there are evident signs of damage, do not use the cord and contact customer service for a new cord. HKMLC Smart Board power cord is designed to be used the way you should, it should be handled with care.

Find the Power Input Port on the Smartboard

Once the power cord is unpacked, find the power input port in the HKMLC Smart Board. The port is usually located at the back or the side of the board, and it is essential to plug the cord into the correct input to avoid damaging the device.

Attach the Power Cord to the Smart Board

At this stage, you should have plugged the power cord to the input port of your HKMLC Smart Board. Ensure that it is tight since loose connections cause power problems. The power cord should be snug and not require forced entry into the port.

Insert the Power Cord into an Electric Outlet

Then, follow that up by plugging the other end of the power cord into a power outlet. If you have access to a standard extension socket, check if the outlet is functioning properly and if it can provide a sufficient power supply for the Smart Board. Using a surge protector to avoid damage from power surges or electrical faults is advised only.

Make Sure the Power Cord Is Securely Plugged Into the Outlet

Check both ends of the power cord after plugging it in; the connection at both ends should be secured. Loose connections may cause the Smart Board to power on and off intermittently, so check for scanner cables to be properly seated.

Power On the Smart Board

This time, you can switch on your HKMLC Smart Board. Check the Smart Board for a power indicator light to see if it is receiving power. If the indicator light is on, you are ready to go.

Look for Power Indicator Lights

After powering the Smart Board ON, please verify the power status indicator light. These lights allow you to see if the device is working properly. A flashing or unlit indicator light could mean there is a problem with the power connection, and you may need to troubleshoot.

Protect the Power Cord for Safety and Aesthetics

Keeping the power cord under control is important both for safety and aesthetics. Do not allow the cord to hang down or create the risk of tripping in your workspace. You can use cable organizers of clips to tidy and keep the cord out of the way.

Test the Smart Board Properly

Once everything is connected and powered, you can test the HKMLC Smart Board by interacting with it! Ensure the display is functioning correctly and that touch works. This will guarantee that everything is correctly wired and the supply of current is uninterrupted.

Troubleshoot power Connection issue if capable

If you are having problems with the power e.g. that the Smart Board does not turn on or that the indicator light does not appear, reconnect all connections on the device. Confirm that the power cord is securely plugged in on both ends, and that the outlet is functioning. You can also contact HKMLC support if the problem will still persist.

Properly Store Power Cord When Not in Use

Store the power cord properly when the HKMLC Smart Board is not in use. Do not tangle or crimp the cord to make it live longer. A neatly stored cord reduces the chances of such damages as well as wear and tear.
