Connecting a Laptop to Your Classroom Projector
If you prefer to use a Laptop Computer rather than the Classroom PC, you may connect one
to the system for display on the projection screen. Auxiliary jacks are located on the Control Panel
to attach your VGA cable and mini stereo audio cable (for sound, if needed).
After attaching the cables from your laptop to the auxiliary jacks, select ”Laptop Computer“ as the
source, and your Laptop should be displayed on the projection screen.

If you still have problems, please call our office at ext. 5030 from your classroom phone so we can
assist you and get you up and running quickly. And always remember to log-off the PC and turn
off the projector at the end of your class.
