	 The	CONTROL	ID	screen	will	be	displayed.
	 If	 the	projector	 can	be	operated	 with	the	current	 remote	control	ID,	the	 [ACTIVE]	 will	be	displayed. 	If	 the	 projector	
cannot	 be	operated	 with	the	current	 remote	control	ID,	the	 [INACTIVE]	 will	be	displayed. 	To	 operate	 the	inactive	
projector,	assign	the	control	ID	used	for	the	projector	by	using	the	following	procedure	(Step	3).
3.	 Press	 one	of	numeric	 keypad	buttons	 while	pressing	 and	holding	 the	ID	SET	 button	
on the remote control.
 Example:
	 To	assign	 “3”,	press	the	 “3”	button	on	the	remote	control.
	 No	 ID	means	 that	all	the	 projectors	 can	be	operated	 together	with	a	single	 remote	 control.	
To	set	“No	ID”,	enter	 “000”	or	press	the	CLEAR	button.
TIP:	The	range	of	IDs	is	from	1	to	254.
4.	 Release	the	ID	SET	button.
