Remote Control Information
You can operate the projector by remote control via a line-of-sight 
infrared (IR) receiver at the front and rear of the projector. The 
projector may not respond to remote control commands under the 
following conditions:
nThere is an object between the remote control IR emitter and the 
IR receiver on the projector.
nAmbient light is too bright.
nCertain types of fluorescent lighting are used.
nA strong light source shines into the IR receiver.
nOther equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant 
room heater, is in the room.
These conditions commonly cause problems for most 
infrared-controlled equipment. Try the following:
nThe remote control batteries may be low on power; replace them.
nDim the ambient lighting and/or turn off any fluorescent lights.
nClose any window coverings and/or move the projector out of 
direct sunlight.
nTurn off other equipment that emits infrared energy.
If the remote control still does not work properly, remember you can 
always control your computer-based presentation directly from the 
computer, even in an environment containing one of the conditions 
listed above.

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, 
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the 
following measures:
nReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
nIncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver.
nConnect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which 
the receiver is connected.
nConsult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
