Using the remote control

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

To operate, point the remote at the projection screen or at the projector (not at the computer). The range of optimum operation is about 30 feet (9.14m).

To use the laser pointer, press and hold the Laser button. The laser turns off when the button is released, or times out after two (2) minutes of continu- ous operation.

Left and right remote mouse buttons are used to mimic the actions of the left/right mouse buttons on your computer. Mouse cursor movement is managed via the remote’s Cursor control. Connect the USB connector on the computer cable to your computer to use these buttons and control your computer’s mouse. When you do this for the first time, the Add New Hard- ware wizard may appear. See page 8 for details on loading the correct USB drivers.

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 27 for more info on the menus.

The remote also has a power button to turn the projector on and off (see page 14 for shutdown info), volume and mute buttons to control the sound, a backlight button to light the remote’s buttons in the dark, 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 32); use the effect button to invoke a user-defin- able action, such as freeze or zoom (see page 32 to learn to program this but- ton).

If you are displaying presentations in Microsoft® PowerPoint®, you can use the remote’s mouse buttons to navigate through your presentation while in Slide Show mode. To configure PowerPoint for this, choose Options from

the PowerPoint Tools menu, click the View Tab, de-select the “Popup Menu on Right Mouse Click” option in the Slide Show section, then click OK. Then, when you’re in PowerPoint’s Slide Show mode, a left click advances to the next slide and a right click returns to the previous slide (other Power- Point modes are not affected).

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, not the com- puter, and are within the remote range of 30 feet (9.14m).

•If you are trying to control your computer’s mouse, make sure the USB cable is connected. If using a USB cable, make sure the correct drivers are installed.
