Media Equipment Instructions – Chandler 301


Consult with your Department for the Combination to Lectern Locks

To Operate the Touch Screen
This classroom AV system uses a touch panel to control the equipment – generally you do not need to use the remote controls – everything can be done from the touch panel. However, it may be easier to use the DVD/VHS remote to navigate and control video playback from other locations in the room.

1. To begin using the presentation software, touch the screen on the Lectern
2. The touch screen should say “Welcome to Chandler Hall”
3. Touch “Press Here to Start”.

Note: Touchscreens and images sometimes become unsynchronized. You may need to touch the screen off center from the image.

This is usually done by pressing the blue FN (function) key on the laptop keyboard in combination with one of the F1-F12 keys on your keyboard.
