Classrooms on campus generally have three types of projection screens. In large classrooms with high ceilings like this one, we have fixed projection screens above writing surfaces like chalkboards or whiteboards.

Some rooms on campus like this one, use electric screens. There are three things to keep in mind when using electric screens.
The first is that screens automatically come down when you press the video input that you want to use on the classroom touch panel. So for example if I have a laptop plugged into the USB-C cord, and I want to start projecting, I press the USB-C button, and the screen comes down.
The second thing to keep in mind is that when you’re done teaching and after you put away the microphone, disconnect our device from the video cable and press the black system off button, the projection screen will automatically come back up into wherever it’s hiding.

Third, we have a button on the touch panel for rooms with electric screens to move it up or dowm like right over here. This is for the convenience of instructors that like to share presentation materials from their laptop and switch to using the writing surface in the room like a chalkboard or whiteboard.

The last type of projection screen is very common in smaller classrooms that seat 30 to 50 students, and that is the classic manual pulldown projection screen.
And I’m going to show you how to bring it down when you want to display content from your device and have it retract, if you need to use the writing surface on the wall.
TO LOWER THE PROJECTION SCREEN:
Grasp a hold of the attached cord and pull down and away from the wall in a fluid motion until about 2 inches past the desired location. Hold the screen in place for a few seconds before releasing the string. The screen should retract just slightly and then stay in desired location.
TO RAISE THE PROJECTION SCREEN:
Firmly grasp the cord attached to the bottom of the screen and give it a smooth tug pulling the screen away from the wall. The screen will begin to retract. Allow the retraction to occur while controlling the speed of the roll up by retaining grip on the cord.
Now, depending on the general age or manufacturer of the projection screen, you might have to hold it longer or shorter compared to other manual projection screens from other classrooms. But guaranteed it will come down and lock into the desired position.
