Projector
How do I project from my
computer?
Make sure the projector and the laptop are both on.
Press the FN button and the F8 or F4 button at the same
time. This should toggle the image of your computer
through the projector. Sometimes you need to do this
more than once.
Still not working?
Make sure the white cover on top of the projector is all the
way open or the projector will not work.
Press “Source search” on the projector to find the source
for the laptop.
If the camera is also on at the same time, try pressing the
“PC” button on the camera to switch to the computer.
To turn off, press the power button twice.
"What are we doing today?”
Solution = make one PowerPoint and create a slideshow
Each day, change your objectives or warm-up and click
"Save As" and rename it with that date. The next day,

Other Ideas for Specials
• ART - capture student work with a digital camera and
create a slideshow, download images and artwork, or
take a virtual museum tour
• MUSIC - record students singing with Audacity,
download music and lyrics, or simply use the camera to
freeze and project music for the whole class to see while
you're using it elsewhere in the room
• PE - use the Flip camera to capture student movement
and share with the class, download PowerPoint lesson
from FCPSteach or Discovery Education for quick video
clips about sports or health topics

Document Camera
How do I project from my document
camera?
Make sure the projector AND the document
camera is on.

camera.

Other Nuts and Bolts of the
Document Camera
What if the image is out of focus?
Try moving the focus wheel on the camera
head.
What if the image is too dark when I
display the camera mode?
Try turning on the light on the camera head.

camera base.
Camera Buttons
“PC” button: press this to toggle to project the computer on the screen.
“Camera” button: press this to toggle to project the document camera on the screen.
“Zoom in/Zoom Out”: use these buttons to zoom in or out while using the camera. This
is better to use than bending the neck of the camera down low to an object you’d
like to show.
“Freeze”: freezes the image you are projecting. To turn off this feature, press “freeze”
again.
“Cap/Del”: stands for “capture/delete”. Press this button while you are projecting the
camera to take a picture of the image. To delete a picture you took, play the
picture again and press the “Cap/del” button. On the message that says “Delete?
Yes/No”, use the arrow to move to the word “delete” and click the right arrow to
confirm the delete.
“Playback”: Press this button to playback the pictures you took using the “Cap/del”
button. Use the arrows on the camera to go back and forth between the pictures.
