Troubleshooting

"There is no image on the projector."

  • If the system is off, turn it on.
  • Try the "Video Mute" or "Picture Mute" button located on the wall touch panel.
  • If you plugged in a cable, please ensure it is secure.
  • Ensure the source you are trying to use is powered on and in presentation mode.
  • Try switching to a different source and back to the one you wish to use.
  •  

"There is no sound coming through the room speakers."

  • Ensure that the device volume is not muted and turned up. For PCs, lower right next to the clock. For Macs, upper right next to the clock.
  •  

"The video quality is poor."

  • If you are connected wirelessly via Sharelink, connect your source directly to the wall using either an HDMI or VGA cable.
  • Download the video directly to your device and then proceed with playback.
  •  

"I cannot connect to Hawkwifi"
