Using the remote control
Putting batteries into the remote control unit
CAUTION
Precautions to observe in regards to the batteries
Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as directed. Improper use may result in battery
cracking or leakage, which could result in fire, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.
• Keep the battery away from children and pets.
• Be sure to use only the batteries specified for use with the remote control. Do not mix new batteries with
used ones.
• When inserting batteries, verify that the plus and minus terminals are aligned correctly (as indicated in the
remote control).
• When you dispose the battery, you should obey the law in the relative area or country.
1
Remove the battery cover
Slide back and remove the
battery cover in the direction of
the arro
w.
2
Insert the batteries
Align and insert the two AA
batteries (that came with the
projector) according to their plus
and minus terminals (as
indicated in the remote control).
3
Close the battery cover
Replace the battery cover in the
direction of the arrow and snap
it back into place.
Operating the remote control
• The remote control works with both the projector's front
and rear remote sensors.
• The range of the remote sensor on the front and back is 3
meters with a 60-degree range (30 degrees to the left and
right of the remote sensor).
• Since the remote control uses infrared light to send
signals to the projector (Class 1 LED), be sure to use the
remote control in an area free from obstacles that could
block the remote control's output signal to the projector.
ATTENTION
Precautions to observe when using the remote control
• Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical impact.
• Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. Doing so may result in malfunction.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if you won't be using the
remote control for an extended period.
• Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction.
• When strong light, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter
fluorescent lamp), hits the projector's remote sensor, the remote control may cease to function.
Adjust the direction of the projector to keep light from directly hitting the projector's remote sensor.

Setting up the projector
CAUTION
• Install the projector in a suitable environment according to instructions of the accompanying manual
“PJ650 Quick START GUIDE” and this manual.
• If you press the elevator buttons without holding the projector, the projector might crash down, overturn,
smash your fingers and possibly result in malfunction. To prevent damaging the projector and injuring
yourself, ALWAYS HOLD THE PROJECTOR whenever using the elevator buttons to adjust the elevator
feet.
Adjusting the Projector's Elevator Feet
You can use the elevator feet to make adjustments if the surface on which you need to set the projector is
uneven or if you otherwise need to adjust the angle of projection. The adjustment range of the elevator feet is
0 to 9 degrees.
1
Press and hold in the elevator buttons.
2
Raise or lower the projector to the desired height and
then release the elevator buttons.
When you release the elevator buttons, the elevator feet
will lock into position.
3
As necessary, you can also finely adjust the height of
the projector by twisting the elevator feet by hand.
