Using the Remote Control

To control the computer’s mouse from the projector’s remote or 
keypad, you must connect one of the Control cables to the com-
puter. See page 7 for details. 

Turn the remote on using the 

on/off

 button on the side of the 

remote. Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the 
front of the projector (not at the computer). The range for opti-
mum operation is about 16 feet and 60 degrees from the front of 
the projector (see Figure 10). If you point the remote at the projec-
tion screen, the distance to the screen and back to the projector 
must be less than or equal to 16 feet. For best results, point the 
remote directly at the projector.
