turned off.
• The cooling fans may run in standby status depending on the projector
settings. Also, when the projector wakes from standby status, the fans may
cause an unexpected noise. This is not a malfunction.

Solutions to Problems with the Remote Control
If the projector does not respond to remote control commands, try the
following solutions:
• Check that the remote control batteries are installed correctly and have
power. If necessary, replace the batteries.
• Make sure you are operating the remote control within the reception angle
and range of the projector.
• Make sure the projector is not warming up or shutting down.
• Check to see if a button on the remote control is stuck down, causing it to
enter sleep mode. Release the button to wake the remote control up.
• Strong fluorescent lighting, direct sunlight, or infrared device signals may be
interfering with the projector's remote receivers. Dim the lights or move the
projector away from the sun or interfering equipment.
• Make sure at least one of the remote receivers are available in the
Remote
Receiver
setting in the projector's
Settings
menu.
• If you enabled the remote control button lock, press and hold the [Home]
button for about 5 seconds to turn it off.
• If you assigned an ID number to the projector to operate multiple projectors
from the remote control, you may need to check or change the ID setting.
• Sed the remote control [ID] switch to
Off
. You can operate all of the
projectors regardless of the projector ID settings.
• Make sure the optional remote control cable set is not attached to the
projector's Remote port. If you leave the cable connected to the port, the
remote control cannot control the projector.
