Projector Screen
The up/down buttons are located on the wall to the right of the white board. Make sure it doesn't get caught on any magnets or chairs or the trash can.
Projector - InFocus IN3148HD
1080p (1920 x 1080) native resolution
On/Off - The power button is labeled on the projector, press it once, green light should get lit. Press the power button twice to turn it off.
Change inputs - Press Source once, and then use the up down buttons to pick what you need, most likely HDMI1 or HDMI2. The inputs are label with masking tape, things tend to get plugged in/out. The black and blue HDMI cable is the one attached to the reel.
Don't mess with the volume on the projector, keep it at 10.
See the Audio and Speakers section to get HDMI audio from the projector to the speakers.
HDMI Devices & Screen Sharing
