Remote Control Operating Range
The remote control uses infrared transmission to control the projector. It is not necessary to point the remote directly at the projector. Provided you are not holding the remote perpendicular to the sides or the rear of the projector, the remote functions within a radius of about (7) meters (23 feet) and 30 degrees above or below the projector level. If the projector does not respond to the remote control, move a little closer.
Projector and Remote Control Buttons
The projector can be operated using the remote control or the buttons on the top of the projector. All operations can be carried out with the remote control; however the buttons on the projector are limited in use. The following illustration shows the corresponding buttons on the remote control and on the projector.

Some buttons on the projector have two functions. For example, item 7/10 on the projector functions both as the volume down button and as the left cursor key in OSD menus.
Inserting the Remote Control Batteries
- Remove the battery compartment cover by sliding the cover in the direction of the arrow.

Common problems and solutions
These guidelines provide tips to deal with problems you may encounter while using the projector. If the problem remains unsolved, contact your dealer for assistance.
Often after time spent troubleshooting, the problem is traced to something as simple as a loose connection. Check the following before proceeding to the problem-specific solutions.
• Use some other electrical device to confirm that the electrical outlet is working.
- Ensure the projector is turned on.
- Ensure all connections are securely attached.
- Ensure the attached device is turned on.
- Ensure a connected PC is not in suspend mode.
- Ensure a connected notebook computer is configured for an external display. (This is usually done by pressing an Fn-key combination on the notebook.)
Tips for Troubleshooting
In each problem-specific section, try the steps in the order suggested. This may help you to solve the problem more quickly.
Try to pin point the problem and thus avoid replacing non-defective parts.
For example, if you replace batteries and the problem remains, put the original batteries back and go to the next step.
Keep a record of the steps you take when troubleshooting: The information may be useful when calling for technical support or for passing on to service personnel.
