Using the remote control
To install the 2 AAA batteries, slide the cover off the back of the remote,
align the + and – ends of the batteries and slide into place, then replace the
cover.
To operate, point the remote at the projection screen or at the front/rear of
the projector (not at the computer). The range of optimum operation is
about 30 feet (9.1m).
The remote has a cursor control and left and right mouse buttons. These
buttons mimic the cursor movement and left and right mouse buttons on
your computer. To use these buttons to control your computer’s mouse, you
must connect a PS/2 or USB mouse cable to the projector. See page 6. When
you do this for the first time, the Add New Hardware wizard may appear.
Press the Menu button to open the menus, use the up and down arrow but-
tons to navigate in the menus and the Select button to select features and
adjust values in the menus. See page 25 for more info on the menus.
The remote also has a Power button to turn the projector on and off (see
page 13 for shutdown info), Volume and Mute buttons to control the sound,
and Video and Computer buttons to switch between sources.
Several presentation-specific features are also provided. Use the Blank but-
ton to display a blank screen instead of the current image (you can choose
which color is displayed, see page 30); use the Effect button to invoke a
user-definable action, such as freeze or zoom (see page 30 to learn to pro-
gram this button). The remote also has a backlight button which illuminates
the remote so you can see the buttons in a dark room. The light stays on for
10 seconds or until you press the backlight button again.
Troubleshooting the remote
• Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and not
dead. If the LED does not light when a button is pressed, the batteries
are dead.
• Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector, not the com-
puter, and are within the remote range of 30 feet (9.1m).
• Make sure there are no obstacles between you and the projector.
• If you are trying to control your computer’s mouse, make sure the PS/2
cable and adapter or the USB cable is connected. If using a USB cable,
make sure the correct drivers are installed.
