  2. Tap ON under DISPLAY to turn the projector on.

  3. Tap LAPTOP to display from your laptop. Your laptop should now display on the wall or screen at the front of the room.

  4. Toggle AV MUTE to temporarily turn the projector display on or off. The AV MUTE button flashes when the display is off.
