Connecting the remote control by cable
If the projector cannot receive the remote’s signal, as may be the case 
if you are using rear projection, you can connect the remote directly 
to the LitePro with a cable. The remote cable is an optional accessory 
available from your In Focus dealer.
Make sure the remote control cable is securely 
attached. If the cable is loose, the remote control 
may not work properly.
