Using the Remote Control
To use the remote control, point it towards the remote 
control receivers located at the front and back of the 
projector.
To be able to use the remote control as a cordless mouse, 
connect the mouse cable (for PS/2) to the projector and your 
computer.
You can use the remote control up to 10 metres (33 feet) 
from the projector.
¨
Note: The projector may not respond to remote control 
commands in these conditions: ambient light is too bright; a 
certain type of fluorescent light is present; a strong light source 
(such as direct sunlight) shines into the infrared receiver; or 
other equipment emitting infrared energy is present (such as a 
radiant room heater). Correct these conditions to use the remote 
control or control the projector from a computer.
¨
Note: If you use the other mouse except the PS/2 mouse, you need 
to purchase the Link Set to connect.
