MWAH 191 equipment cabinet key may be requested by departments or by faculty teaching in this room.
Classroom keys and building master keys do not open these locks. Departments with faculty or staff needing access to the AV /computer equipment may want to have a key in their department office available for checkout. Or faculty and staff who make frequent use of classroom equipment may want to request a key for their personal use. In either case, a key request card must be completed, signed by the Dean or Department Head, and delivered to Facilities Management Key Shop. "AV Cabinets" must be printed at the top of the card to specify that the requested key is for the equipment cabinet and not for the room itself. A separate key request card for the room must be completed to obtain a room key.
The projector controls and other equipment are located in the equipment cabinet at the front of the room. This cabinet has one lock. Use the equipment cabinet key to unlock it.
Then open the door.
The audio amplifier is located in the cabinet. It is normally left on, and a small green light on the front of the amplifier indicates when it is on. If the green light is not on, press the power button on the amplifier. If the volume for the VCR is not correct, check and adjust the dial on the amplifier labeled VCR.
The dial on the amplifier labeled Program adjusts the overall volume level of all devices connected to the room audio system. Adjust it up or down as necessary, but be aware that this also adjusts the volume for the microphone. It is best to adjust the VCR volume using the VCR dial rather than Program dial.
Take the wired microphone which is located in the cabinet and place it on you in the position you prefer for your presentation.
Check the audio amplifier volume levels. If the volume for the microphone is not correct, check and adjust the dial on the amplifier labeled MIC.
The dial on the amplifier labeled Program adjusts the overall volume level of all devices connected to the room audio system (the VCR and the microphone). Adjust the Program dial up or down as necessary, but be aware that this also adjusts the volume for the VCR. It is best to set VCR dial to minimum and then adjust the microphone volume using the MIC dial rather than Program dial.
Recoil the cable and place it beside the amplifier on in the cabinet.
Close and lock the equipment cabinet door using the equipment key.
Please double check to make sure that the cabinet is locked.
