Remote Control Parts

Important:

1. Avoi d using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-frequency flu o-

rescent lights can disrupt remote control operation.

2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projector. If the path be­tween remote and projector is obstructed, you can bounce the remote signal off certain reflective
surfaces such as projector screens.

3. The buttons and keys on the projector have the same functions as the corresponding buttons on
the remote control. This user’s manual describes the functions based on the remote control.
