1. Connect one end of your VGA cable to your computer normally. Connect the other end of your VGA cable to the black VGA port on the back of the SMART Document Camera labeled "VGA In", pictured below.

*Special Note - If you have a VGA cable with audio, as shown in the picture below, connect this cable between your laptop and your SMART Document Camera, and connect a VGA cable without an audio between the document camera and the wall jack.

3. If you used a VGA cable with audio in step one, plug the 3.5mm audio end nearest where you plugged the VGA connector into your laptop's headphone jack. You'll need a 3.5mm audio extension cable to connect the other end to your wallplate.

If you only have VGA cables with integrated audio, or if you do not have an extension cable, you will need a separate 3.5mm audio only cable to connect your laptop's headphone jack directly to the wallplate either cable is 6 feet long, so plan your layout accordingly.
