Operating the LASER pointer
The Laser Pointer is a presentation aid for 
professionals. It emits colored light when you 
press it. The laser beam is visible.  It is necessary to press and hold Laser for continuous 
output.
Do not look into the laser light  window 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.
The laser pointer is not a toy. Parents should  be mindful of the dangers of laser energy and 
keep this remote control out of the reach of children.
Remote control code
The projector can be assigned to  8 different remote control codes, 1 to 8. When several 
adjacent projectors are in operation at the sa me time, switching the remote control codes 
can prevent interference from other remote controls. Set the remote control code for the 
projector first before changing that for the remote control.
To switch the code for the projector , select from among 1 to 8 in the SYSTEM > Remote 
Control Code  menu.
To switch the code for th e remote control, press ID set and the number button 
corresponding to the remote control code set in the projector OSD together for 5 seconds or 
more. The initial code is  set to 1. When the code is swit ched to 8, the remote control can 
control every projector.
If different codes are set on the projector and re mote control, there will be no response from 
the remote control. When that happens, a message will display to remind you to switch the 
code for the remote control.
Using the remote mouse control
The capability of operating your computer  with the remote control gives you more 
flexibility when delivering presentations. 
1. Set the input signal to a PC signal.
2. Press  Mouse on the remote control. A cursor appears on the screen. You can press  /
/ /  to move the cursor for indication.
3. Press  Mouse again to switch to the normal mode.
If you wish to use a more advanced mouse mode, follow the below steps:

remote control in place of your computer’s mouse. See Connecting a computer on 
page 19  for details.
2. Press  Mouse to switch to the mouse mode. An icon appears on the screen to indicate 
the activation of the mouse mode.
3. 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

mouse related multi-function keys.
Remote control effective range
Refer to the illustration about the location of the Infra-
Red (IR) remote control sens or(s). The remote control 
must be held at an angle within 30 degrees perpendicular 
to the projectors IR remote control sensor(s) to function 
correctly. The distance between the remote control and 
the sensor(s) should not exceed 8 meters (~ 26 feet).
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote 
control and the IR sensor(s)  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, press on the 
finger grip on the cover and slide it down in  the direction of the arrow as illustrated.
2. Remove any existing batteries (if necessa ry) 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 pushing it back down into position. 
Stop when it clicks into place.
WARNING
• 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 manufacturers 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 drained 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.
