INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING A LAPTOP

1) Locate the cable bin at the front of the classroom on the floor. Connect the 15 pin cable to the VGA connector at the rear of the laptop. For laptop sound, connect the audio plug to the headphone jack. For network access, connect the Cat-5 data plug to the laptop ethernet card/jack.
2) Turn on the laptop. Locate the Extron RGB-108 interface box located just below the On/Off panel in the A/V equipment rack. This device should turn on automatically. The laptop image should also appear on the rack monitor and the projector screen.
3) Adjust centering controls and turn the “Level” control to the two o’clock position for best screen image.

If the laptop image is not present on the rack monitor or projector screen please check the following items:
- Make sure the Extron RGB 108 is set to Input #1 on the input switch located on the right side of the front panel.
- If the Extron RGB 108 appears to be off make sure the laptop VGA output has been turned on. To turn on the laptop VGA output hold down the “FN” key and press the function key that indicate LCD/VGA or has the symbol of a monitor. This function has three different settings and each time you press it requires a few seconds to forward to the next setting.
