Remote control effective range
The Infra-Red (IR) remote control is located on the front 
of the projector. The remote control must be held at an 
angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the projectors 
IR remote control sensor to function correctly. The 
distance between the remote control and the sensor should 
not exceed 8 meters (~ 26 feet).
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote 
control and the IR sensor on the projector that might 
obstruct the infra-red beam.

There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. It is 
recommended that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically 
test the projection size and distance using the  actual projector in situ before you permanently 
install it, so as to make allowance for this projectors optical characteristics. This will help you 
determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.
