 Do not drop the remote control or expose it to moisture or high temperature.
 The remote control may malfunction under a fluorescent lamp. If that occurs, move the 
DHD Controller away from the fluorescent lamp.
 Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote 
control and the IR receiver on the DHD Controller or projector.
 If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the 
batteries with new ones.
 Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this 
happens, point the remote control at the DHD Controller or projector and repeat the 
operation.
The signal from the remote control can be reflected by walls or 
other surfaces.
