Note
 fWhen operating the remote control by directly pointing the remote contro\
l signal receiver of the projector, operate the remote control at a distance approx. 30 m (98'5") or shorter from the remote control signal receiver. The remote control can control at angles of up to ±30° vertically and horizontally, but the effective control range may be reduced. fIf there are any obstacles between the remote control and the remote control signal receiver , the remote control may not operate properly. fThe signal will be reflected off the screen. However, the operating range may be limited from light reflection loss due to the screen material. fIf the remote control signal receiver directly receives strong light, such as fluorescent light, the remote control may not operate properly . Use it in a place distant from the light source. fThe power indicator  will flash if the projector receives a remote control signal.

2) Insert the batteries and close the cover (insert the m side first). (Fig. 2)
 fWhen removing the batteries, perform the steps in reverse order.
Setting the ID number of the remote control
When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all th\
e projectors simultaneously or each projector individually using single \

2) Within five seconds, press the two-digit ID number set on the projector using the number ( - ) 
buttons.
 fIf you press the  button, you can control the projectors regardless of the ID number setting of the projector.
Attention
 fSince the ID number of the remote control can be set without the projector, do not press the  button on the remote control carelessly. If the  button is pressed and no number ( - ) buttons are pressed within five seconds, the ID number returns to its original value before the  button was pressed. fThe ID number set on the remote control will be stored unless it is set again. However , it will be erased if the remote control is left with dead batteries. Set the same ID number again when the batteries are replaced.
Note
 fSet the ID number of the projector from the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTOR ID].
