Ensure that you have the 
batteries’ polarity (+/–) 
aligned correctly. 3.  
Slip the cover back over the

place. Do not mix different 
types of batteries or new and 
old batteries.	The infrared signal operates by line-of-sight up to a distance of about 22 feet/7 m 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.
