Important Instructions for the Remote Control

Aim the Remote Control at the Camera Head

The remote control sensor (the component that receives the infrared signals from the remote control) is located on the camera head. You must aim the remote control at the camera head for it to be effective. Pointing it at the monitor or screen on which images are being displayed will not work.

Remote Control Sensor

Even if people understand this intellectually, once they get up in front of a real audience, many end up pointing the remote control at the screen and clicking with all their might. We highly recommend that you plan an on-site rehearsal before starting a presentation.

•••Ê Note •••

The effective range of the remote control from the remote control sensor is approximately 16 ft. (5 m) at 120 degrees horizontally and 30 degrees vertically.

Check the Battery Charge Prior to Use

The cause of a remote control not responding at all during a presentation is generally an insufficient battery charge. Remember to always check the battery charge before you need the remote control. Keep an extra set of batteries handy if you are uncertain about the remaining charge. See Changing the Remote Control Batteries (p. 109) for instructions.
