Remote Control
To install batteries in the remote control, push the 
battery cover and slide it off. Install the two AAA 
batteries with the correct polarity and then 
replace the cover. 
Notes on Batteries Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the batteries.
 Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries.
 If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid 
damage from battery leakage.
Notes on Remote Control 
Operation
 Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote 
control and the IR receiver on the projector.
 If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the 
batteries with new ones.
 The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright 
sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
 Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this 
happens, point the remote control at the projector, and repeat the operation.
