Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of the Remote 300 and receiver for Media
Center PC with Windows Vista™ Home Premium and Windows Vista™
Ultimate. The infrared (IR) remote control and receiver let you access and
manage your Media Center PC and other peripheral devices.
※※※※Important: If your Media Center PC has a receiver installed, you can
skip the sections in this manual that describe working with the receiver
STEP 1 Insert the Batteries
The remote control uses two AAA batteries, which are included in the
package. Whenever you insert the batteries, make sure both of them are
new.
To insert the batteries
1. Remove the battery compartment cover by
pushing on its release and lifting up.
2. Insert the batteries, making sure to properly
orient the positive (+) and negative (－) ends as
specified by the battery compartment labels.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
STEP 2 Position the Receiver
For optimum performance, make sure that the
distance between the remote control and the
receiver doesn’t exceed 10 meters. Keep a direct,
unobstructed line of sight between the receiver
and the remote control, and don’t let any natural
or artificial light shine directly on the receiver’s IR
sensor.
