Differences in room conditions make for different instructions.
Your first step is to turn on the projector wall switch. It's located near the entrance of 1-115, and is labeled "Projector".
Second, adjust the light level. There is a panel by the opposite door - the door adjacent to the instructors workstation - that gives you the following lighting options:
The remote will only operate at setting 3 or 4, as the warm fluorescent lighting interferes with the infrared sensor on the projector. Use the remote control unit. It's stored in the tray of the instructor's workstation in 1-115.
Aim the remote at the black dot between the second and third light tube on the front of the projector, and press the 5 button. You'll hear a "bweep" and in 10-15 seconds, an image will appear on the screen.
You will see a projected image in about 10 seconds. It takes about 10 minutes for the image to reach peak clarity, so it's a good idea to turn on the projector at the start of class, or, if possible, a few minutes before you begin your class.
To turn off the projector, take the same physical position and press the "Standby" button. Then, shut off the projector light switch. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU SHUT OFF THE PROJECTOR FROM THE REMOTE FIRST.
To turn on the projector, aim the remote at the screen, and press the 5 button. The remote is kept next to the instructor's workstation.

The back of the projector also has an infrared sensor. It is located directly to the left of the power light, which toggles to red when on standby and green when projecting an image. Aim the remote at the sensor on the back of the projector and press the appropriate button.
Please remember to turn off the projector when you leave and to return the remote to its home in the keyboard tray of the instructor's workstation.
Thank you for your cooperation.
