22 Using the remote control The remote uses two (2) provided AA batteries. They are easily installed by removing the cover from the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the batteries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover. Caution: When replacing the batteries, be aware that using batteries other than the type provided with the projector may risk severe damage to the remote. When disposing of the batteries, be sure to do so in an environmentally proper manner. To operate, point the remote at the front of the projector (not at the computer). The range of optimum operation is about 15 feet (4.5m). Press the remote’s Power button to turn the projector on and off (see page 14 for shutdown info). Press the remote’s Menu button to open the projector’s menu system. Use the arrow buttons to navigate, and the Select button to select features and adjust values in the menus.

To adjust the volume, press the Volume buttons on the keypad or remote. Troubleshooting Audio If you aren’t hearing the audio, check the following: • If your computer is using the projectors DisplayLink connector, see the InFocus DisplayLink Manager Users Guide for audio troubleshooting information • Make sure the audio cable is connected to the correct Audio In connector, Computer or Video. • Make sure the volume is turned up enough. Press the Volume button on the keypad or remote. • Make sure the correct source is active. • Make sure that you are connected to an “audio out” connector on the source as opposed to a “line-in” or “microphone” connector. • Adjust the audio source. • If playing a video, make sure the playback has not been paused. Connecting external speakers The projector can be attached to external amplified speakers by connecting a 3.5mm stereo audio cable from the Audio Out connector on the projector to the amplified speakers. Alternatively, you can bypass the projector’s audio system and connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or home theater system. connect audio cable connect audio cable external speakers with own power source speaker cableaudio out
