The remote uses two (2) AAA batteries (not included). They are easily 
installed by sliding the cover off the remotes back, aligning the + and - ends 
of the batteries, sliding  them into place, and then replacing the cover.
To operate, point the remote at the proj ection scree

ous operation.

lar input to a specific source. Simply  pres

  menu system. Use the
