Instructions
Turning on the System
If the monitor appears dark, tap the screen, which wakes up the system and turns the projector on within a few seconds.
o If the monitor and projector do not turn on when you tap the screen, then open the front door of the teaching station and press the white power button on the Cynap processor. It will appear green after it is powered on.
o If the Cynap processor’s power button is already green, then make sure the monitor is turned on, as evidenced by a blue LED on the lower right bezel of the monitor. If the LED is amber instead of blue, tap the amber light to make it turn blue.
Connecting and Selecting a Source
-
To connect a portable computer or tablet, you may connect it using either the HDMI cable or wireless casting (using Airplay, Miracast or Chromecast). If you are wirelessly casting, you may skip the following steps; just search on your mobile device for the wireless display labeled "OHSN 380."

To select a source, Tap the screen to show the control ribbon; then tap on the yellow [+] button and select the desired source.

When a computer or tablet is connected to the teaching station's HDMI cable, it will appear as ‘Laptop’ on the source icons when you tap the yellow [+] button.
-
If you want to use the provided desktop PC, wiggle the mouse, or press a key on the keyboard to wake the PC from sleep mode. If the PC is powered off, press its power button.
