Section One: Using your own laptop computer.

1. Lower the projection screen. The control switch is on the wall to left of the screen.

2. Connect your laptop to the projector using the Computer Video cable (located in the cabinet at the rear of the room). Connect one end to your laptop’s video output and the other end to the wall plate at the front of the room. The proper input is labeled “Projector”.

3. If you need network access connect one end of the Ethernet cable (located in the cabinet at the rear of the room, 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 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.
