Using the Remote Control to Operate the Mouse Pointer (Wireless Mouse Function)

You can use the remote control as a wireless mouse to control the mouse pointer on the computer screen. To do this, you must use the accessory USBg cable to connect the computer's USB port to the [USB TypeB] port at the rear of the projector.

TIP

•If your projector is an EMP-765, the [USB TypeA] port on the back of the projector does not function as a USB hub.

•The USB cable can only be connected to computers with a standard USB interface. If using a computer which is running Windows, the computer must have had a full version of Windows 98/2000/Me/XP Home Edition/XP Professional installed. If the computer is running a version of Windows 98/2000/Me/XP Home Edition/XP Professional that has been upgraded from an earlier version of Windows, correct operation cannot be guaranteed.

•It may not be possible to use the mouse function under some versions of both the Windows and Macintosh operating systems.

•Some computer settings may have to be changed in order for the mouse function to be used. Consult the computer's documentation for further details.
