Introduction

Note that unlike rooms PHR 1004, 1008 and 1012, the lights in PHR 2009 and 2024 are not controlled by the system.

Powering On

When powered on, the screen will automatically lower.

Using the PC

...

Note

If you are using the PC, please log out of the PC before shutting down the system. Shutting down the system will not shut down the PC.

Using a Laptop

Info

Both rooms only have an HDMI Adapter to connect to the projector. If you do not have a HDMI port on your laptop, please bring an adapter that works with your laptop.

...

Note that there are no microphones currently set up in either room. This means that if a microphone is needed (e.g. for a hybrid meeting with a video call), you need to use your laptop’s microphone.

Switching Input

Select the input you want (PC or laptop) from the bottom of the touchscreen panel to switch input. There is no need to restart the system to switch input.

Audio

Audio can be controlled by selecting the Audio button at the bottom of the screen. The slider can be used to adjust output volume. Note that turning the PC/Laptop volume to 0% with the sliders may not mute the audio completely. Instead, mute the sound by selecting Audio Mute in the top right corner of the touchscreen and then selecting Mute Sound.

...

Microphones

There is currently no microphone set up in either rooms. If connected with a laptop, you can use the laptop’s built in microphone if it has one.

If you require a microphone in these rooms, please inquire with Pharmacy IT.

Powering Off

Select “Off” on the touchscreen panel, then “Yes” to shut down the system. This will raise the screen automatically.

Problems

Keyboard/Trackpad isn’t working

  • Check that the keyboard is powered on. There is a switch on the top edge of the keyboard that should be switched on, and the switch should be green.

...

  • Check that the keyboard does not have Num Lock turned on.

Monitor isn’t displaying anything

  • Check that the monitor is turned on (there should be a light on the bottom right of the monitor). If there is no light, turn the monitor on with the button on the bottom right of the monitor screen.

  • The monitor can only be turned on when the projector is turned on. If you need to use the PC but do not want to project, start projecting but mute the image to stop projecting.

Nothing is projecting

  • Check if image is muted. If there is a green yield symbol ((warning)) in the top right corner where it says “Image Mute”, then the projector is muted.
