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 radius of about 10 meters (33 feet) and 
30 degrees above or below the projector level. If the  projector does not respond to the remote control, 
move a little closer.   
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 t he remote control; 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 10/13 on the projector functions 
both keystone button and as the  up cursor key in OSD menus.
