Operating Your Computer with the 
Remote Control
If you’ve connected a computer to the projector with a USB cable, as 
described on page 22, you can use the remote control in place of your 
computer’s mouse. This gives you more flexibility when delivering 
PowerPoint and other slideshow-style presentations, since you won’t 
have to stand next to the computer to change slides.
■Use the  pointer button to move the cursor on the screen.
■Press the Enter button to left-click, or press it twice to 
double-click; press the 
ESC button to right-click.
■To drag-and drop, hold down the Enter button for about one 
second until it lights. Then use the 
 pointer button to drag the 
object. When it’s where you want it, press 
Enter to release it.
■Use the Page buttons to move through a slideshow.

Controlling Multiple Projectors
If you’re using more than one projector, you can control all the 
projectors—or just selected ones—by using the projector ID system. 
To operate a projector, you have to set the remote control’s ID to 
match that of the projector. Or you can control all of the projectors 
simultaneously by setting the remote control’s ID to zero. 
Setting the Projector ID
The projector’s default ID is 1. If you need to change it, follow these 
steps:
1. Press the 
Menu button on the remote control.
You see the projector’s menu screen. 
2. Select the 
Advanced2 menu and press Enter. Then highlight 
Projector ID and press Enter.
3. Press the right or left side of the  pointer button to increase or 
decrease the ID value. 
4. Press 
Enter to set the value.
5. When done, press 
ESC to exit the menu system.
