Important: 
1. Avoid using the projector with bright fl uorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-
frequency fluorescent lights can disrupt remote control operation. 
2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path betw een the remote control and the projec-
tor. If the path between remote and projector is obstructed, you can bounce the 
remote signal off certain reflective  surfaces such as projector screens. 
3. The buttons and keys on the projector hav e the same functions as the corre-
sponding buttons on the remote control. This user’s manual describes the 
functions based on the remote control.  
 
Note: 
*To turn off the projector, press the  Power OFF button twice. 
**To turn on the projector, press and hold the  Power On button for a minimum of 
two seconds.

Operating Range for Wi reless Remote Control 
The infrared signal operates by  line-of-sight up to a distance of about 22 feet (7m) and 
within a 60-degree angle of the remote sensor on the projector cabinet.  
The projector will not respond if there are  objects between the remote control and the 
sensor, or if strong light falls  on the sensor. Weak batteries  will also prevent the remote 
control from properly operating the projector. 
Remote Control Precautions 
The following precautions ensure that t he remote operates correctly and safely. 
ƒ   Handle the remote control carefully.  
ƒ   If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  
ƒ   Avoid excessive heat and humidity.  
ƒ   Do not heat, take apart, or  throw batteries into fire.  
ƒ   For extended periods of inactivity, remove the batteries.  
ƒ   Ensure that the batteries polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.  
ƒ   Do not use new and old batteries together, or different types of batteries together.  
ƒ   Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
