Introduction 
Remote Control 
 
Important: 
1.  Avoid using the projector with bright fluoresc ent lighting turned on. Certain high-frequency fluo-
rescent lights can disrupt remote control operation. 
 
2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the re mote control and the projector. If the path be-
tween the remote control and the projector is obstructed, you can bounce the signal off certain 
reflective surfaces such as projector screens. 
 
3. The buttons and keys on the projector have the  same functions as the corresponding buttons on 
the remote control. This user’s manual descri bes the functions based on the remote control.

The remote control can only interface with a co mputer when connected to the computer through a 
USB cable connection. The computer cable connects a computer to  the projector for display pur-
poses only. 
Remote Control Operating Range 
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 or 
the rear of the projector, the re mote will function well within a radi us of about 10 meters (33 feet) and 
30 degrees above or below the projector level. 
Projector and Remote Control Buttons 
The projector can be operated using t he remote control or the buttons on the top of the projector. All 
operations can be carried out with the remote cont rol; however the buttons on the projector are lim-
ited in use. The following illustration shows the corresponding buttons on the remote control and on 
the projector. 
 
Some buttons on the projector have  two functions. For example, item 9/12 on the projector functions 
both keystone button and as the up 
cursor key in OSD menus.
