Using the Remote Control

The remote control lets you perform meeting tasks, such as placing a call and adjusting the volume. You can use the remote control to navigate screens and select options.

You can also use the remote control to type text by pressing the number buttons using the text-entry method commonly used with cell phones. For example, to enter a “b”, press the number 2 button twice.
