Using the Remote Control

The remote control uses a line-of-sight infrared signal. It lets
you access the projector's features from anywhere in the
room—up to 32 feet away. (This distance may be shorter if
the remote control batteries are low.) You must also be within
a ±30° angle from the front or rear receiver. If you have
connected the mouse cable, you can also use the remote
control as a wireless mouse.
The projector may not respond to remote control commands
in these conditions:
You are too far away or not within 30 to the left or right of
and 15 above or below the front or rear sensor
The (remote control) switch is in the
R/C
Batteries are weak
Ambient light is too bright
A fluorescent light is shining into the infrared receiver
A strong light source (such as direct sunlight) shines into the
infrared receiver
Other equipment emitting infrared energy is present (such as
a radiant room heater)
The remote control buttons are shown in the following
illustrations.
