Using the Remote Control

The remote control can be used to control the projector
within the ranges shown in the illustration.
Note
•The signal from the remote control can be reflected off a screen
for easy operation. However, the effective distance of the signal
may differ due to the screen material.
When using the remote control:
•Be sure not to drop, expose to moisture or high temperature.
•The remote control may malfunction under a fluorescent lamp.
Under that circumstance, move the projector away from the fluo-
rescent lamp.
Inserting the Batteries
The batteries (two “AA” size) are included in
the package.
1Pull down the tab on the cover
and remove the cover towards
the direction of the arrow.
2Insert the included batteries.
•Insert the batteries making sure the
polarities correctly match the 
 and
 marks inside the battery
compartment.
3Insert the lower tab of the
cover into the opening, and
lower the cover until it clicks
in place.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.
 Caution
•Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the  and  marks inside the battery compart-
ment.
•Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.
•Do not mix new and old batteries.
This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak.
•Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them can cause them to leak.
Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to your skin, therefore be sure to first wipe them and then remove
them using a cloth.
•The batteries included with this projector may exhaust over a short period, depending on how they are kept.
Be sure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries when they have run out.
