38Using the Remote Control Using the Remote Control as a Wireless Mouse When you use the remote control as a wireless mouse, you can control your computer or click through slideshow-style presentations (such as PowerPoint) from up to 30 feet away. This gives you more flexibility, since you won’t need to stand near your computer to change slides, for example. First make sure you have connected the mouse cable between the projector and your computer as described on page 13 (for laptops) or in Appendix A (for other systems). Note that your computer’s mouse may be disabled when you connect the projector’s mouse cable. If you have a laptop, you won’t be able to use an external mouse; however, you may still be able to use the computer’s built-in mouse pointer. To move the mouse pointer on the screen, aim the remote at the screen and press on the edge of the Enter button with your thumb—or grasp it between your thumb and finger and tilt it in the direction you want to move. This button works like the mouse button on many laptop keyboards. To click (or left-click), press down on the center of the Enter button. This changes slides in a PowerPoint presentation when you’re in Slide Show mode. To right-click, press the Esc button. To double-click, press down twice on the Enter button. To click and drag, press down on the Enter button and then tilt it in the direction you want to drag.
