INSTALLATION & SETUP

Follow the steps below to convert the keypad to a remote keypad and change its protocol
setting.

Step 1

Unplug the projector then remove the front top cover to access the built- in keypad. To
remove the cover, remove the four screws holding it to the projector, two on the right and
two on the left. Grasp it above firmly then pull straight out from the center of the
projector. The keypad is mounted to a securing bracket located above the lens
assemblies. Loosen the two bracket wing nuts then move the keypad away from the
bracket.

Step 2

Locate the battery compartment at the backside of the keypad. Squeeze the latch to open
the door.
See Figure 2-7.

If converting the keypad to an IR remote, unplug the cable connector. Locate the jumper
wires next to the cable connector location. See Figure 2-8. The jumper wires control the
keypad's operating settings.
