Usage Guidelines Important Information Cautions Concerning the Laser Pointer The laser pointer on the remote control emits a laser beam from the laser pointer window. This is a Class II laser which may impair your sight if directed into the eyes. The two marks shown on the left are caution labels for the laser beam. • Do not look into the laser pointer window or shine the laser beam on yourself or others. (The laser beam used in this product is harmless when directed onto the skin.
Usage Guidelines If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or a dirty air filter, “TEMP.” and “ ” will flash in the lower-left corner of the picture. If the temperature continues to rise, the lamp will turn off, the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator on the projector will flash, and after a 90-second coolingoff period the power will shut off.

Guide to Effective Presentations Electronic presentations are one of the most effective tools presenters can use to persuade an audience. There are several ways to enhance your presentation and maximise your effectiveness. The following are guidelines to help you create and deliver a dynamic presentation. a. Types of Presentations Computer Presentations • To present basic information such as graphs, spreadsheets, documents and images, use word processing and spreadsheet applications.
Guide to Effective Presentations • Background colours can subconsciously affect the audience: Red Blue Green Black RP on from SHA Presentati type of es in any on mistak of type fonts most comm selection One of the visual is the or hard to read. thin, presentation small, too that are too Red—increases viewers’ pulse and breathing and encourages risk taking but can also be associated with financial loss.
Guide to Effective Presentations Good Bad Good c. Set-Up When giving a presentation, you need to set the stage both figuratively and literally for success. The way you set up a presentation room will have a great impact on the audience’s perception of you and your message. By manipulating the placement and use of the following tools, you will improve the impact of your presentation.
Guide to Effective Presentations d. Rehearsing & Delivery • The best time to rehearse is the day or evening before, not a couple of hours before, and the best place to rehearse is in the actual room. Rehearsing a speech in a small office is not the same as standing up in front of 100 people in a hotel ballroom or classroom. • Due to varying processor speeds of computers, practice your slide transitions for proper timing.
