With this type of e-podium, both the monitor and the keyboard are located on top of the e-podium; only the computer tower and multi-standard VCR are located in the cabinet. To access the computer tower and VCR, simply unlock the cabinet door. The keyhole is located on the side door of the SmartCart. (It should be labeled "side door.")

Turn the computer on. When the login screen appears, type in the user name: sipaav and select the OK button. No password is necessary to login.

Then, using the remote control as shown, turn on the LCD projector mounted to the ceiling. Within a few moments, your presentation should appear on the projection screen.

The computer also has a DVD player (located in the computer tower), and it is internet-ready. To connect to the web, simply double click on the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop.

To use a laptop instead of the SmartCart computer, you must attach the blue cable pictured to your laptop. Sound and Internet connectivity are also available with the laptop. Simply connect the Internet cable (on the far right side) and the sound cable (on the far left side) of the SmartCart to the corresponding section of your laptop. To use the projector, follow the directions outlined above.
