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.

Projector

screen?
1. Make sure the projector is ON.
2. Make sure the white cover on top of the
projector is slid all the way open, or it won’t
work.
3. Try pressing “source search” on the projector
to search for the device that is on.
How do I turn off the projector?

Warm-up
Review of material from
previous class
Use PowerPoint for Instruction
As students enter the room, they're probably wondering,
"What are we going to do today?“
Solution = make one PowerPoint. Each day, change
your objectives or warm-up and click "Save As" and
rename it with that date. The next day, open the show,
edit the information, and click "Save As" with the new
date.
By the end of the year you'll have 180 PowerPoint shows
that you can always use again in the future. This will
save a lot of elbow grease you would have spent erasing
the board!

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.
