Notes on Remote Commander 
operation
 Make sure that nothing obstructs the 
infrared beam between the Remote 
Commander and the remote control 
detector on the projector. Direct the 
Remote Commander toward the remote 
control detector.
 The operation range is limited. The shorter 
the distance between the Remote 
Commander and the remote control 
detector is, the wider the angle within 
which the commander can control the 
projector becomes.
