Connecting a USB Cable for Remote Presentation Control

You can use the remote control to click through slideshow-style presentations, such as PowerPoint, from up to 20 feet away. This makes it easy to deliver your presentation, since you won’t need to stand near your computer.

To use this function, you will need a USB cable, a system with a working USB port, and the full version of one of these operating systems:

Windows®Macintosh

Windows 98SE, 2000, Me, XP, or Macintosh OS X

Windows Vista™

1.If you are using a desktop computer, disconnect the mouse cable from your computer.

2.Connect the square end of the USB cable to the projector’s USB port.
