  If your Elmo Document Camera displays no image, several factors could be the cause. Ensure the AC adapter is properly connected to the wall outlet and the unit's power supply socket. Verify the power is ON (look for a blue light). Adjust the zoom if it's set to the TELE side. If you just turned the power off and on, wait a few seconds before turning it back on. Check the Image Selection setting to match the connected video cable. If using USB power, ensure the USB cable is properly connected. Reconnecting the AC adapter may resolve the issue.
