Remote Control
All the functions of the projector can be controlled using the remote 
control.  The remote control unit can operate either by infra-red or by direct 
connection to the projector via a hard wire connection.
For infra red operation the remote control requires to be powered by 2 AAA
(HP16/RO3/LR03) alkaline batteries. The battery compartment is located on the
back of the remote control. To remove the compartment cover press and open as
shown below.
Insert the first battery into the compartment according to the (+) and (-) indications
inside the case and it to the back of the compartment. Insert the second battery by
pivoting it against the first and pushing down into place. When the batteries are
securely in place, replace the battery compartment cover.

remote control sensors located at the front, rear and on both sides of the projector.
The remote control should not be exposed to heat, steam, water or any other 
liquid. If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. 
When remote control buttons are pressed and held down the main unit function
keys may not operate.
Direct sunlight, very bright fluorescent lighting or Infra Red translation systems
may saturate the projectorsÕ Infra Red receiver rendering the remote control

							This installation section explains how to install the projector for optimum results.
To do this, it is necessary to determine the following:
1. The type of screen and whether front or rear projection is to be used.
2. The projector location and therefore the type of lens to be used.
3. The method of mounting for the projector.
4. The type of input source to be used with the projector.
Screen Requirements
As virtually all commercially available screens will give a pleasing image you
should choose according to your individual requirements. However, to achieve 
optimum results we recommend a low gain (1.2 - 1.3), non-perforated screen for
front projection, this will keep hot spotting and light loss to a minimum whilst 
providing wide viewing angles. 
Regardless of the type of screen used, it is important that your screen is of sufficient
height to display the images at the aspect ratios intended to be used. Use the 
following tables to check that you are able to display the full image on your screen.
If you have insufficient height, you will have to reduce the overall image size in
order to display the full image on your screen.

							For optimum viewing, the screen should be a flat surface perpendicular to the floor.
The bottom of the screen should be 1.2m (4 feet) above the floor and the front row
of the audience should not have to look up more than 30¡ to see the top of the
screen (see opposite).
The distance between the front row of the audience and the screen should be at least
twice the screen height and the distance between the back row and the screen should
be a maximum of 8 times the screen height. The screen viewing area should be
within a 60¡ range from the face of the screen.
If you intend to use a rear projection screen you must ensure you have sufficient
distance behind the screen for the projector to be correctly located Rear projection
has the advantage that the projector cannot be seen and higher ambient light levels
can be tolerated. Although the image can be flipped to rear projection and displayed
without the need for extra mirrors or equipment, it makes the installation more 
complicated and advice should be sought from your local dealer before attempting
an installation in this way.

							Positioning the Projector
Correct positioning of the projector is essential to achieve the best results. Before
deciding on the final location of the projector please ensure you read the following 
information very carefully.
The projector must be situated in a clean, dry environment and away from direct
sunlight or heat. Make sure you locate the projector so that the air inlets and 
outlets for the cooling system are not obstructed.
When positioning the projector always carry it by the retractable handle provided.
The handle pulls out right hand side of the projector as shown below.
Never carry the projector on its side whilst the lamp is lit.
Ensure that the power cord and any other cables connecting to video sources are
disconnected before moving the projector. When moving the projector or when it is
not in use, cover the lens with the lens cap.
PROJECTOR THROW DISTANCE
The further the projector is positioned from the screen or wall, the larger the 
displayed image. The minimum projected image size is 1m (40) measured 
diagonally. The largest the image can be is 12.7m (500).
