About Remote Commander operation
• Direct the Remote Commander toward the remote control receiver.
• The shorter the distance between the Remote Commander and the projector is, the wider the angle within which the Remote Commander can control the projector becomes.
• If there is any obstruction between the Remote Commander and the remote control receiver on the projector, the projector may not be able to receive signals from the Remote Commander.
