so that others can't access your UCT network account.
Using a CD / DVD
You can play CDs or DVDs using the classroom PC's built-in opcal drive. The drive is located
on the right-hand side of the lectern – next to the keyboard.
Using a USB ash drive
To access content from your own USB ash drive, plug your ash drive into one of the USB
ports on the right-hand side of the lectern.
Cauon: Do not save any les onto the classroom PC because your data will be lost when the PC reboots. Save all les
to your own USB ash drive, cloud storage, or a network drive.
Laptop
HDMI-enabled laptops:
Connect the HDMI cable from the lectern to your laptop’s HDMI port.
Non-HDMI-enabled laptops:

2. If you want your laptop’s sound to be projected, connect the audio cable from the
lectern to your laptop’s audio socket.
If the projecon screen doesn't display your laptop screen output:
1. Look for a Funcon / Fn (F1, F2, etc.) key on your laptop keyboard that represents
the monitor display.
