project the images on the screen. In addition, please do not push the
Extron buttons at a rapid pace. Doing so could delay the system from
recognizing the device you wish to use causing a blue screen to appear.
If you get a blue screen, see the troubleshooting section below for more
help.

laptop in the drawer. Connect this cable to your laptop and to the
audio /comp port (PC1 Input) on the Extron system.

SHUTDOWN |

In order to maintain the integrity and
continuous proper functioning of the system, it needs to be shut down
correctly. To shut down the projector, please press the power
button; the red light on the Extron board will blink and a message will
appear on the screen indicating for the user to please wait. After a
few moments the projector lamp will shut off, even though the fan will
continue to run. This is normal. After a few minutes, the fan will
shut off and the projector will be in standby mode for future use.
Please shut off all other devices as well, including the sound to
maintain the reliability of the system. |
