Push the power button on the control panel. You should hear a chirp. If you do not hear a chirp, you may need to push the power button another time or two. (This is normal) Do not hold down the button.
Look for blue lights on the projector when the power is on. Allow a minute or two for the projector to fully illuminate. Do not panic if the image is off center. It will auto-adjust.
A single, flashing blue light indicates that the projector may be powered on. A single, solid blue light indicates that the projector is cooling and may not be powered on until the cooling cycle is complete.
Push the power button twice. Look for a single blue light as the projector cools. You will not be able to turn the projector back on until it has cooled. Projectors do not automatically turn off. Power down projectors each day to preserve bulb life.
There are AV connections on the wall jack. You may plug in a VCR or DVD player to these jacks. (The player MUST be running for the projector to recognize the source.) If your computer has a DVD player, you should be able to play DVDs through the PC.
No picture? Check the video splitter to be sure all cables are plugged in securely. Check to be sure the projector power is on. Be sure your computer is turned on and logged in.
No sound? Adjust volume on the control panel. Adjust volume on the computer. Check the amplifier to be sure the green light is on. If a blue light is blinking, you will need to power on the amplifier.
Adjust the master volume. Adjust the input gain buttons. There are 3 buttons labeled Aux 1, Aux 2 and Aux 3. Be sure to check all three.
Enter a help request if you are not able to use your projector.
Why didnt you ask me where I wanted my projector installed? The team will install 700 projectors, sound systems, and screens in under 3 months. There would not be enough time to meet with each teacher individually. We want a standard look and feel in every classroom. Your choice of location might not be the same as that of another teacher. Teachers may not keep the same classroom year after year. Permanent installations cannot be easily moved to accommodate preferences.
Who pays for replacement bulbs? Schools will be responsible for replacement bulbs. Be sure to turn off projectors when not in use to extend bulb life. What am I supposed to do with this thing? Enhance teaching and learning in your classroom! Need ideas? Click here for ways to use a projector in ANY classroom.here
Why didnt my spouse at the elementary school get a projector? Cost. We would love to have a projector in every classroom, but funds are limited. Elementary schools will receive 5 mobile carts with projectors and sound systems that will be shared by grade levels. Can I play a CD through the speakers without using the projector? No.
Why dont I have a video splitter for my projector on a cart? We are aware of this and are checking our contract to see if these should be a part of the install. Will new trailers at the middle schools and high schools get the projector on a cart setup? Yes!
