Introduction
RemotePoint Presenter is a complete wireless
presentation system.
The wireless presentation remote features a laser pointer,
a thumb maneuvered mouse, programmable slide
controls, and the patented ClickTrigger. RemotePoint
Presenter includes a 32-MB storage drive and receiver for
presentation storage and 100 foot RF wireless range. A
complete software package with programmable slide
effects is also included.
This wireless presentation system is the ideal solution for
presentations, training, and interactive multimedia.
The RemotePoint Presenter software lets you control and
customize the functions of RemotePoint Presenter. It
includes 95 different tools with hundreds of
configurations for enhancing PowerPoint presentations.

Installation
• Windows 98, Me, 2000 or XP
• Available USB port
• 6 MB of available hard disk space
Note: Win98 systems must have software loaded to
ensure trouble free operation
1. Insert the RemotePoint Presenter CD into the CDROM drive.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: If the setup wizard does not appear, double-click
My Computer, double-click the icon for your CDROM drive, and then double-click Setup.exe.

2. Insert the two AAA batteries in the compartment.
Ensure that the batteries are in the correct
orientation as indicated by the positive (+) and
negative (–) markings.
3. Replace the battery cover.
USER’S GUIDE
Connecting the
USB Receiver
1. Remove the protective cap from the USB Receiver.
2. Flip up the antenna.
3. Insert the receiver into an available USB port on
your computer.
4. The slowly flashing green light indicates that the
receiver is working.
A standard USB extension cable can be used if your
computer has USB ports that are located close together.
These may be obtained at retail computer stores, or are
complimentary with purchase through
support@interlinkelec.com.
Because RemotePoint Presenter uses radio waves, the
receiver can be placed anywhere. You do not need to
place it where you have a line-of-sight connection with
the RemotePoint Presenter Remote.
Note: Shortly after you connect the receiver, Windows
might display the Add New Hardware wizard. If
required, click Next a few times to get through the
wizard. Some Windows 98 computers require that
you insert your Windows 98 installation disk. If
you do not have this available, an alternative
solution is provided on your RemotePoint
Presenter CD in a file titled Win98.pdf.

REMOTEPOINT PRESENTER
Programming the
Receiver
The RemotePoint Presenter Remote shares a unique
address with the receiver. This address is automatically
programmed into your receiver the first time you use it.
You should not have to reprogram it unless you have
trouble with the communication between the
RemotePoint Presenter Remote and the receiver.
To program the receiver:
1. Plug the receiver into a USB port and wait for the
green light on the receiver to blink slowly.
2. On the RemotePoint Presenter Remote, press the
laser button and shine the laser beam on the
receiver’s starburst icon for about five seconds.
3. When the green light glows steadily the receiver is
programmed to the unique address of the
RemotePoint Presenter Remote. After address is
established, the LED will return to blinking green.

Software
The RemotePoint Presenter software allows you to
customize the buttons on RemotePoint Presenter. Built-in
profiles for several common applications are provided,
and you can create your own profiles if the built-in
profiles don’t fit your needs. For information about
customizing the button functions, see Customizing
RemotePoint Presenter on page 14.
To start the RemotePoint Presenter software:
• Double-click the RemotePoint Presenter icon in the
notification area (also known as the system tray) at
the lower right corner of the screen.
Note: If the RemotePoint Presenter icon does not appear in
the notification area, start the program by clicking

Operating
Distances
Toolbars are cleared from the screen by clicking the close
button on the toolbar, or by selecting another tool button
on the Remote unit. If the Keep Cursor On Toolbar option
isn’t checked, then simply moving the mouse off the
toolbar will make it disappear.
The RemotePoint Presenter Remote is designed to
operate at distances up to 100 feet from the receiver.
However, the maximum distance can vary depending on
the environment where the device is operated. Radio
frequency (RF) interference from another source can
reduce the capabilities of RemotePoint Presenter.
USER’S GUIDE
Transporting
RemotePoint
Presenter
Low batteries in the RemotePoint Presenter Remote may
also reduce the operating distance. Always ensure that
you have replacement batteries available.
When transporting the RemotePoint Presenter Remote,
always remove the batteries from the unit. Although the
transmitter automatically goes into a low power “sleep”
mode after a period of non-operational use, we
recommend that you remove the batteries to avoid battery
drain caused by accidental button activation during
transportation.
The carrying case provides protection for the
RemotePoint Presenter during transportation and storage.

Using the 32-MB USB Drive
The RemotePoint Presenter receiver has a built-in 32megabyte flash memory mass storage device that acts just
like a removable hard drive. The 32-MB USB drive
interface follows the USB mass storage standard so you
can use it by simply inserting it into an available USB
port. Recent versions of Windows already have the
appropriate drivers.
When you insert the RemotePoint Presenter receiver into
a USB port, an additional drive appears in Windows. This
drive acts like the other drives on your system. You can
read, write, and delete files on it. It provides an easy way
to transport your PowerPoint presentations from one
machine to another.
The drive can be locked to write protect your data. Use a
paper clip to slide the data lock to the locked or unlocked
position. When the drive is locked, you cannot write or
delete files.

Troubleshooting
If you experience any difficulties after you have
connected your RemotePoint Presenter and installed the
software, please consult these troubleshooting guidelines:
• Check your connections. Make sure that the
RemotePoint Presenter receiver is securely plugged
into your computer’s USB port.
• Reprogram the receiver. Simply point the
RemotePoint Presenter Remote’s laser at the
starburst on the receiver until the green light glows
steadily.
• Make sure that the RemotePoint Presenter software
program is running. If not, start the program and try
the RemotePoint Presenter Remote again.
• Check the RemotePoint Presenter Remote batteries.
Low batteries can prevent the RemotePoint Presenter
from operating.
• Restart Windows. Sometimes restarting or powering
the computer off and back on will restore cursor
motion when the RemotePoint Presenter program is
restarted.
• Try installing the RemotePoint Presenter receiver
and software on another computer.
Note: The RemotePoint Presenter is a Microsoft
compatible mouse. It is not necessary to load the
RemotePoint Presenter software to use it as a
mouse. However, not all computers are the same.
Some computers (especially notebooks) have USB
ports configured so you can simply plug the
receiver in, power up the computer and
RemotePoint Presenter works. Other computers
might require you to change one or more settings.
Please consult your computer’s user guide to
determine if your computer is capable of working
with multiple pointing devices or automatic
detection of an external mouse.
Usually, this can be changed in
the system BIOS.
