If the projector is not “duplicating” the image of the Instructor’s PC, follow these quick trouble shooting steps:

1.     Confirm you have Logged on to the PC

2.     Confirm that the PC desktop display is on.

3.     Confirm that the bulb of the projector is working (something is displayed on the screen, may be a blue screen).

4.     Press ‘Windows button” and letter “P”.  On our computers the Windows button is between the Fn button and Alt button (left of spacebar)

This brings up a right menu panel, use the mouse to left click on the “Duplicate” option.  This will send the signal to the projector.
