Evaluating the environmental 
conditionsLight conditions
The Projector will display a high brightness image, even
under normal light conditions and does not require any
special considerations with respect to lighting. However,
if you want to optimise the presentation environment,
these are some of the aspects you may want to take
into consideration:
Please take care to avoid direct and indirect light on the
projection screen, as it will reduce the contrast of the
image, and the quality of your presentation.
Further you should avoid light from the ceiling between
the Projector and the projection screen. Behind the Pro-
jector, where the audience usually are, you could allow
some more light, allowing the audience to see enough
to for example take notes.
6 Using the Projector 
						

							Contents
14High Brightness Monochrome Mode
If you want to present information in black and white
you have the option of pulling the colour filter of the
Projector out of the light path. By pulling the handle up
you take away the colour filter, and the light goes
unobstructed to the DMD (Digital Mirror Device) chip.
This results in a projected image with much greater
light output.
Projection screen
The quality of the projection screen will also have a
significant impact on the quality of the image presented.
Different models offer varying degree of reflection. In
general, screens with some form of reflective coating
offer better image quality than do “regular screens”.
Avoid overheating the Projector
Cooling is very important for the Projector. Always place
the Projector so that it has free space all around it, in
order to enable air to circulate through the Projector.
Always make sure that the cooling fan is working. The
DMD™ (Digital Mirror Device) inside the Projector is
heat sensitive, and needs to be cooled. If the cooling
fan is not working, turn off the Projector and consult
your dealer.
WARNING! Never use the Projector if the
cooling fan is not working. Using the 
Projector without cooling can 
seriously damage the projector.

15Using the Interactive 
Remote ControlThe Interactive Remote Control has two purposes:1.
To access the MAIN MENU and control the various
image adjustment and utility functions of the
Projector.
2.
To allow remote control of your computer.
Identify the Interactive Remote Control. The Interactive
Remote Control is operated by pointing it towards the
projection screen. An infra red beam bounces from the
screen to an infra red receiver on the Projector.
NOTE 
Make sure that nothing is blocking the IR receiver
located beneath the lens, or at the back of the
projector, as this will prevent the communication
between the Interactive Remote Control, and the
Projector.NOTE 
To ensure smooth operation, the combined
distance from the remote control to the screen and 
back to the Projectorshould not exceed 10 meters
(33 ft). If the distance via the screen is longer, you
should point the remote control directly towards
one of the IR receivers.

with the Projector.

16This remote control works with Macintosh and with
Microsoft Windows version 3.1 and higher, for interac-
tive distance control of your computer. A unique pres-
sure sensing pad on the remote control makes it very
easy to control the computer, and to perform the exact
same operations as you would with a normal mouse.
The serial interface cable and the PC serial adapter are
supplied with the projector.
The Interactive Remote Control is very easy to operate.
It has only six keys in addition to the pressure sensitive
mouse pad.
The six keys are:Key underneath the Control:Left mouse key.
Small grey key:Interrupt/break an action 
(Right mouse key)
Menu:Press the Menu key to access the 
menu control functions. To move within the various
menu functions, position the arrow cursor by pressing
the sensitive mouse pad and doubleclick on the high-
lighted icon.
Enlarge:Press the Enlarge key to enlarge any part of
the image. The image will automatically be enlarged
four times. To move and enlarge any part of the image,
press the sensitive mouse pad.
Blank:Press the Blank key to blank the image.
To reveal parts of the image, press the sensitive 
mouse pad downwards. (curtain function).
Zap:Press the Zap key to perform the assigned
function. To assign a function to the Zap key select the
Zap icon from the menu. Choose between Freeze,
Mute, Source, Pointer and On/off.

17Hints for using the 
Interactive Remote ControlThe Interactive Remote Control is unlike any other
mouse device you have used before, and we therefore
suggest that you take a few minutes to become accus-
tomed to the new sensation of controlling the cursor by
rocking your thumb.
Below we have included some suggestions to help you
get started. With a little practice, you will quickly
become a skilled user.
Holding the Interactive Remote Control
The best way to hold the remote control is like a pistol
grip, with your middle finger in the contoured channel
on the underside, and your index-finger poised in front
of the primary trigger button (button underneath; left
mouse key). The thumb can be pulled back to activate
any one of the other keys. You will also notice that the
Interactive Remote Control works well for both left and
right handed users.
Using the pressure-sensing mouse pad
The Interactive Remote Control’s pressure-sensing
mouse pad converts the touch of your thumb intosmooth cursor movement. To move the cursor, place
your thumb on the centre of the mouse pad and rock it
in the direction you want the cursor to go. You can move
the cursor in any direction - the Interactive Remote
Control has a full 360° control. A light touch will pro-
duce slow, precise cursor movement. More pressure
will increase the cursor speed - the harder you press,
the faster the cursor moves. When you first try the Inter-
active Remote Control we suggest that you set the
mouse speed (in the mouse control panel in Windows)
to a minimum. This will facilitate the learning process.
You can increase the sensivity as you become more
familiar with the Interactive Remote Control.
To click an item
The button underneath and the small gray key on the
Interactive Remote Control emulate those on a conven-
tional mouse. The trigger button under the front of the
Interactive Remote Control is equivalent to the left
mouse button, and is used as the primary button. The
small gray key on top of the Interactive Remote Control
is equivalent to the right mouse button (the secondary
button). Operation of these two buttons/keys are the
same as on a regular mouse.

18To drag an item
Simply press and hold the primary button (button
underneath) while moving the cursor to the desired
location. Release this button to complete the drag operation. If your computer has Windows installed, you
may wish to practice this function by playing the game
of solitaire.

19Follow the easy steps below to set-up
your computer to communicate with
the products.The products will tell your computer that a serial mouse
is connected, and this will make the Interactive Remote
Control work just like your ordinary mouse. Remember
that your mouse driver must be a Microsoft serial driver
or compatible for the product to be able to communicate
with your PC.

20Projector:
Special considerations If the Interactive Remote Control does not work when
you have followed the above steps please try the
following1.
Make sure that your mouse driver in Windows
Setup is Microsoft, or IBM PS/2 in Windows 3.1
and 3.11 and Microsoft serial mouse or “standard
serial mouse” in windows95 and WindowsNT. If
another driver is installed please change it and
restart Windows.
If changing the mouse driver does not help (this is
something we have only experienced on portables)
you must add/change information in your mouse.ini
file (could also be named mousedrive.ini).
2.
Enter File Manager, and double click on the
apropriate mouse initiation file and make sure of
the following. The important here is that serial is
written as the first search point in the mousetype
line of the INI-file.
Click on File and choose Save,and then exit the
file. With the mouse.ini or mousedrive.ini marked
click on File (in File Manager) and choose 
Properties cross out the read only box in the
properties dialog box and then choose OK.This
action will prevent Windows to overwrite the file
later.
3.
If this still does not help contact your dealer or call
technical support (see your warranty card or the
infopage in the main menu for telephone number)
