Turning on the PC

Setting up Projection

  1. On either the wall panel or the panel on the podium, press the Projector Control option then press the Power On buttons for both the Left and Right projector. This will automatically turn on the left and right projector and lower the left and right projector screens.

Setting up Microphones

There are two options available for projecting your voice in the room.

  1. The podium microphone can be used if you prefer to speak at the podium. Adjust the height accordingly to reach your desired volume.

  1. There is also a lavaliere microphone located on top of the podium. This can be used to project your voice while walking around the room.

If you don't see the lavaliere microphone, check the drawer located on the on the right side of the podium.

Clip the microphone on about 6 inches away from your mouth. Place the power switch located at the top of the mic to the On position. The green light will indicate the power is on. Speak then adjust the height of the microphone accordingly to reach your desired volume.
