Vision Model 140/150 Installation/Operation Manual

PRE

IMINAR

•

Do not drop the remote control or expose it to moisture or high temperature.

•

The remote control may malfunction under a fluorescent lamp. If that occurs, move the
VHD Controller away from the fluorescent lamp.

•

Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote
control and the IR receiver on the VHD Controller or projector.

•

If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the
batteries with new ones.

•

The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright
sunlight or fluorescent lighting.

•

Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this
happens, point the remote control at the VHD Controller, and repeat the operation.
