How to set up the UPP laptop for presentations--
A. Please do a dry run of your presentation at least a day before, using the same machines and conditions that you expect to encounter during your presentation.
B. When expecting to connect to a phone line off campus for your presentation, bring--
a). An extra-long phone cord.
b) An extra-long extension cord.
--It's amazing how many presentations in the field fail for lack of long enough cords.
Remember, test the remote phone line the day before and the day of your presentation.
Please contact the CUPPATECH RAs, cuppatech@listserv.uic.edu for assistance in the dry run of your presentation.
Remember, the laptop and projector cost thousands of dollars, and must be treated with great caution and care.
