Using the Control Panel
The following table summarizes the functions on the control
panel.
Using the Remote Control
The remote control uses a line-of-sight infrared signal. It lets
you access the projector’s features from anywhere in the room—
up to 32 feet away. (This distance may be shorter if the remote
control batteries are low.) If you have connected the mouse
cable, you can also use the remote control as a wireless mouse.
The projector may not respond to remote control commands in
these conditions:
❏ The remote control is not turned on (using the switch on its
side)
❏ You are too far away or not within 30° to the left or right of
the front or rear sensor or 15° above or below it
❏ Batteries are weak
❏ Ambient light is too bright
❏ A fluorescent light is shining into the infrared receiver
❏ A strong light source (such as direct sunlight) shines into the
infrared receiver
❏ Other equipment emitting infrared energy is present (such as
a radiant room heater)
Flashing

The projector is too hot. Make sure the
temperature surrounding the projector does
not exceed 95 °F and there is plenty of space
around and under the projector for ventilation.
Clean the air filter if necessary.
Red The projector is overheating, which turns off
the lamp automatically. Let it cool for a few
minutes, then turn it back on. Make sure there
is plenty of space around and under the
projector for ventilation. If it continues to
overheat, you may need to change the air
filter.

temperature sensor. Turn off the projector and
