Using the remote control

The remote uses two (2) provided AA batteries. They are easily installed by
sliding the cover off the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the bat-
teries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.

Caution

: When replacing the batteries, be aware that using batteries other

than the type provided with the projector may risk severe damage to the
remote. When disposing of the batteries, be sure to do so in an environmen-
tally proper manner.

To operate, point the remote at the projection screen or at the projector (not
at the computer). The range of optimum operation is about 15 feet (4.5m).

Pressing the remote’s Power button when the projector’s Power toggle
switch is in the Off position does not cause the projector to power up. You
need to put the projector’s Power toggle switch in the On position to let the
remote power on the projector.

When the projector is running, you can press the remote’s Power button to
place the projector in the Off state (see page 19 for shutdown info) and
power it off.

Press the remote’s Menu button to open the projector’s menu system. Use
the arrow buttons to navigate, and the Select button to select features and
adjust values in the menus. See page 31 for more info on the menus.

The remote also has Volume and Mute buttons to control the sound, and
Video

and Computer buttons to switch between sources.

Two presentation-specific features are also provided. Use the Blank button
to display a blank screen instead of the current slide (you can choose which
color is displayed, see page 36); use the Effect button to invoke a user-defin-
able action, such as freeze, zoom or change your aspect ratio for viewing
DVDs (see page 36 to learn to program this button).

Previous

and Next buttons allow you to navigate through your PowerPoint

presentation while in Slide Show mode. Connect the USB connector on the
computer cable to your computer to use these buttons. When you do this for
the first time, the Add New Hardware wizard may appear. See page 13 for
details on loading the correct USB drivers.

Troubleshooting the remote

Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are
not dead.

Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector or the screen, not
the computer, and are within the remote range of 15 feet (4.5m). For
best results, point the remote at the screen.

If you are trying to advance PowerPoint slides, make sure the USB
cable is connected. If using a USB cable, make sure the correct drivers
are installed.
