Preparing and Using the Remote
Control
The remote control has an on/off switch on its side, as shown. Before
using the remote, make sure batteries are installed as described on
page 54, then push up the R/C on/off switch to turn it on.
Turn off the remote control before transporting or storing it; this
prevents the batteries from discharging if something presses against
one of the buttons.
Here are some additional tips:
■ Point the remote control either at the front or back of the
projector, or at the screen.
■ Stand within about 30 feet of the projector. If you want to operate
the projector from a greater distance, a remote control cable set is
available (see page 14).
■ When presenting in a darkened room, press the light button to
make the buttons on the remote light up temporarily.
■ Avoid using the remote under bright fluorescent lamps or in
direct sunlight, or the projector may not respond properly.
