Close the battery cover Replace the battery cover in the direction of the arrow and snap it back into place. 2 3 USING THE REMOTE CONTROL CAUTIONPrecautions to observe in regards to the batteries Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as directed. Imp\ roper use may result in battery cracking or leakage, which could result in fire, injury and/or p\ ollution of the surrounding environment. • Keep the battery away from children and pets. • Be sure to use only the batteries specified for use with the remote cont\ rol. Do not mix new batteries with used ones. • When inserting batteries, verify that the plus and minus terminals are a\ ligned correctly (as indicated in the remote control). • When you dispose the battery, you should obey the law in the relative a\ rea or country. 12 Putting batteries into the remote control unit $1497PM&7 4 .
13 • The remote control works with both the projectors front and rear remote sensors. • The range of the remote sensor on the front is 3 meters with a 90-degree range (45 degrees to the left and right of the remote sensor), and back is 3 meters with a 60-degree range. • Since the remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class 1 LED), be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that could block the remote controls output signal to the projector. Precautions to observe when using the remote control • Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical impact. • Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. Doing so \ may result in malfunction. • Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe p\ lace if you wont be using the remote control for an extended period. • Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction\ . • When strong light, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely c\ lose range (such as from an inverter fluorescent lamp), hits the projectors remo\ te sensor, the remote control may cease to function. Adjust the direction of the proje\ ctor to keep light from directly hitting the projectors remote sensor.
