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.

Caution: When replacing the batteries, be aware that using batteries other than the type provided with the projector may risk severe damage to the remote. When disposing of the batteries, be sure to do so in an enviromen- tally proper manner.

To operate, point the remote at the projection screen or at the projector (not at the computer). The range of optimum operation is about 15 feet (4.5m).

Pressing the remote’s Power button when the projector’s Power toggle switch is in the Off position does not cause the projector to power up. You need to put the projector’s Power toggle switch in the On position to let the remote power on the projector.

When the projector is running, you can press the remote’s Power button to place the projector in the Off state (see page 17 for shutdown info) and power it off.

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 a USB cable to the USB connector on the computer and to the projector to use these buttons and control your computer’s mouse. When you do this for the first time, the Add New Hardware wizard may appear. See page 10 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 29 for more info on the menus.

The remote also has Volume and Mute buttons to control the sound, a back- light button to light the remote’s buttons in the dark, and Video and Com- puter 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 34); use the Effect button to invoke a user-defin- able action, such as freeze, zoom or change your aspect ratio for viewing DVDs (see page 34 to learn to program this button).

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. After that, 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 or the screen, not the computer, and are within the remote range of 15 feet (4.5m). For best results, point the remote at the screen.

•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.
