After the Tech Team sets up and tests all connections, they will power off all of the devices.
If you will be using a projector: Upon your arrival, you will need to power on the projector with the remote. You will connect your device (laptop or iPad) to the projector via the supplied dongle. If your presentation has sound, you will need to connect the audio connection to your device’s headphone jack.
Next you will need to power on the speaker.
Volume can be controlled by the master volume control. The volume for either the microphone or the computer can be adjusted by using the corresponding volume controls.
At the end of your event, please power off all of the equipment.
The Tech Team will retrieve the equipment the following morning.
