  5. Elmo connections • Video in, out, USB and power connectors make this a mess to deal with! • Note: The thumb screws don’t need to be really tight.

  6. Laptop to Projector • The video out from laptop passes through the Elmo then on to projector. • The F5 button (or ?) has 3 way switch. • Elmo decides whether camera or comp is sent.

There are times when the wireless part of the network experiences problems that may prevent any wireless connectivity.

Check the volume level on the actual speaker system. • 4. Check device manager in Windows to make sure there are no driver/software conflicts. • 5.Check all connections to make sure they are secure.

  15. Basic Mouse Troubleshooting • 1. When using a wireless mouse, make sure the batteries are charged. • 2. If using a wired mouse, make sure that it is plugged in securely to the computer. • 3. When using older mice with roller balls, remove the ball periodically and clean the rollers inside. • 4. When using optical mice, make sure it is on a non-reflective surface to prevent “jumping” of the cursor.
