the “LAPTOP” input. Don’t turn on your computer yet! 2.
Connect your laptop to the projector
using the Computer Video cable (located in the drawer in the cabinet). Connect one end to your laptop’s monitor
output and the other end to the wall plate at the front of the room. The proper input is labeled “Laptop”. 3.
If you need network access connect one
end of the Ethernet cable (located in the drawer in the cabinet, if you do
not have your own) to the network jack on your laptop and the other end to
the Ethernet jack on the wall. The
active wall jack is typically marked with a little round red sticker. 4.
If you need sound from your laptop to
come out of the room’s speakers, connect the mini-plug on one end of the
computer video cable to the speaker output jack on your laptop and connect
the other end to the audio jack just below the “Projector” input on the wall
plate. 5.
Turn on your laptop computer. 6.
You may have to adjust your laptop’s settings
to get the image onto the projector. On a PC use the FUNCTION-F key combination (look
for a little TV screen, “LCD” or “display” on the function keys). On a MAC laptop you may have to “arrange
the monitors” and/or turn on video mirroring in the control strip. 7.
