Remote Controller Operational 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 of the projector, the remote will function well within a radius of about
5 meters and 30 degrees above or below the projector level. If the projector does not respond
to the remote control, try bouncing the IR signal off the screen or move a little closer to the
projector.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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 con-nection. 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 usu-

ally 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 call-ing for technical support or for passing on to service personnel.
