Elmo Document Camera
Setting up the Elmo
• Set the Elmo and projector on top of
the cart. Gently twist the neck and
head of the Elmo into the position
shown here. Don’t ever force it!
• Place the stage under the camera.
It may not fit on the cart exactly as
shown in the diagram; you’ll need to
be flexible.
• Connect the projector power cord and plug into the cart.
• Connect the Elmo power cord and plug into the cart.
• Plug the cart into an electrical power source.
• Take the projector’s RGB cable (the cable with a blue connector on each end)
and plug one end into the projector’s Computer 2 port. Plug the other end into
the Elmo’s RGB Out port. Do this carefully! The connectors are trapezoid
shaped. Make sure they are correctly oriented. Do not use the RGB cable that
came with the Elmo; it might not work.

Using the Elmo
• Remove the lens cap from the projector. Turn on the projector (power button
on projector or remote).
• Turn on the power button at the base of the Elmo (it will turn green when
turned on).
• Turn on the light at the camera head of the Elmo.
• Adjust focus and distance on the projector.
• Use the black knob on the Elmo head to zoom in and out.
• Place the item to be viewed on the stage.
Shutting Down
• Turn the projector off. Allow the fan to finish running before unplugging.
• Turn off the Elmo camera head light. Then turn off the Elmo power button – it
will turn red. Press firmly!
• Store the Elmo as shown below:
Turn the camera head and neck.
Place cover on Elmo to protect from
dust.
• If you disassemble the Elmo and projector to use the projector for another
purpose, be sure to reassemble so the unit is ready for the next user.

Keeping the Elmo Safe
• Don’t ever lift the Elmo by the neck or head. Lift from the base of the unit.
• Turn off the Elmo’s light and power before turning the head or neck. Don’t
force turning the head or neck. If it doesn’t turn easily, it is probably not
supposed to go in that direction.
• Store carefully when not in use.
Capturing Images from the Elmo to a Computer
Note: This will work best with a laptop, since it is difficult to move a computer
workstation next to the cart where you are projecting with the Elmo.
Installing the Software
• First download the Image Mate software to your laptop. There is an
installation CD that comes with the Elmo, but it contains software for
Windows, not Mac.
• Go to this web site: http://www.elmousa.com/download-archive.php
• Scroll to TT-02s.
• Click on the Mac software (blue and white smiley face). The installer will
download.
• Look for a folder named TT-02u Utility Software Mac. Open the folder.
• Double click Image Mate for Presentation (VHM).pkg.
• Follow the installation instructions. You’ll need to type in your laptop
password to install.
• Add the Image Mate program to your dock. Go menu > Applications > ELMO
Utility Software > Image Mate. Drag Image Mate to the dock.
