What are the policies and procedures for the safe
handling of the multimedia equipment in all the
classrooms?
The multimedia
equipment on the podiums in all the classrooms is
highly sensitive. It is the Law Center’s policy
that, with the exception of ITSS, NO ONE has the
permission to try to troubleshoot the equipment.
Users can only operate the VCR, PC, and the touchpad
remote control. In case there is any issue or
problem with the equipment, call ITSS immediately at
771-4987, 771-5814, or 771-4912. DO NOT try to shut
down the equipment at any time.
How do I give a PowerPoint
presentation in the classrooms using the projector
and the screen?
-
If the user has a
PowerPoint file on a CD or a floppy disk,
insert the CD or the floppy disk in the
appropriate drive of the PC inside the
podium.
-
In classrooms 129 and
130, after completing step 1, tap on the
touch screen panel on the podium one time
(you should see a screen with different
options). In rooms 207, 216, 225, and 227,
the remote control uses a push button.
-
Make sure that the
screen is rolled down. Select “Projector
Controls” and power on the projector.
-
Press “Select Source”
and select “Main PC.” You should be able to
see the desktop on the screen.
-
Start the PowerPoint
application and go to FILE, OPEN, and select
the appropriate path to the PowerPoint file
to be run.
-
At the end of the
presentation, make sure that you remove your
disks, close the applications, LOG OFF, shut
down the projector, and roll up the screen.
May I use my own laptop to do
PowerPoint presentations in any of the classrooms?
Yes, you can use
your own laptop for the PowerPoint slide show. There
is a VGA cable on the podium in the glass slot.
Connect that VGA cable to the VGA port of your
laptop. Connect the laptop power supply to the power
socket in the glass slot. The steps to be followed
are the same as above. The only change that needs to
be made is that in Step 4 above, Press “Select
Source” and then select “Laptop” as the source. The
rest of the steps are the same as above.

equipment in the classrooms to show a VHS tape?

and select “VCR.” You should be able to see
the video on the screen.
