ENGLISH
The remote control uses infrared transmission to control the projector. It is not necessary to
point the remote directly at the projector. Provided you are not holding the remote
perpendicular to the sides of the projector, the remote will function well within a radius of about
5 meters and 30 degrees above or below the projector level. If the projector does not respond
to the remote control, try bouncing the IR signal off the screen or move a little closer to the
projector.
