or shine the laser light beam on 
yourself or others. See the warning 
messages on the back of the remote 
control prior to using it.

Using the remote mouse control
The capability of operating your computer with the remote control gives you more 
flexibility when delivering presentations.

mode. An icon appears on the screen to indicate the activation of the mouse mode.
4. Perform the desired mouse controls on your remote control.
• To move the cursor on the screen, press  / / / . 
• To left-click, press  . 
• To right-click, press  . 
• To operate your display software program (on a connected PC) which responds to 
page up/down commands (like Microsoft PowerPoint), press PgUp/PgDn.
• To return to the normal mode, press Mouse again or other keys except for the 
mouse related multi-function keys.
Remote control effective range
Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensors are located on the front and the top of the projector. 
The remote control must be held at an angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the 
projector's IR remote control sensors to function correctly. The distance between the remote 
control and the sensors should not exceed 8 meters (~ 26 feet).
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensors on the 
projector that might obstruct the infra-red beam.

Replacing the remote control batteries
1. To open the battery cover, turn the remote control over to view its back, push on the 
finger grip on the cover and slide it in the direction of the arrow as illustrated. The 
cover will slide off.
2. Remove any existing batteries (if necessary) and install two AAA batteries observing 
the battery polarities as indicated in the base of the battery compartment. Positive (+) 
goes to positive and negative (-) goes to negative.
3. Refit the cover by aligning it with the base and sliding it back down into position. 
Stop when it clicks into place.
• Avoid leaving the remote control and batteries in an excessive heat or humid environment 
like the kitchen, bathroom, sauna, sunroom or in a closed car.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.
• Dispose of the used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions and local 
environment regulations for your region.
• Never throw the batteries into a fire. There may be danger of an explosion.
• If the batteries are dead or if you will not be using the remote control for an extended 
period of time, remove the batteries to avoid damage to the remote control from possible 
battery leakage.

Positioning your projector
Choosing a location
Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. 
Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power 
outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your 
equipment.
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations:
1. Front Table
Select this location with the projector placed near 
the floor in front of the screen. This is the most 
common way to position the projector for quick 
setup and portability.
2. Front Ceiling
Select this location with the projector suspended 
upside-down from the ceiling in front of the 
screen.
Purchase the projector ceiling mount kit from your 
dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling.
Set Front Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP: 
Basic > Projector Position menu after you turn 
the projector on.
3. Rear Ceiling
Select this location with the projector suspended 
upside-down from the ceiling behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen and the 
projector ceiling mounting kit are required for this 
installation location.
Set Rear Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic
>Projector Position menu after you turn the 
projector on.
4. Rear Table
Select this location with the projector placed near 
the floor behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen is 
required.
Set Rear Table in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > 
Projector Position menu after you turn the 
projector on.
