Note
The remote control can be used within a distance of about 7 m (22.97') if pointed directly at the remote control signal
f
receiver. The remote control can control at angles of up to ± 30 ° vertically and ± 30 ° horizontally, but the effective control
range may be reduced.
If there are any obstacles between the remote control and the remote control signal receiver, the remote control may not
f
operate correctly.
You can operate the projector by reflecting the remote control signal on the screen. The operating range may differ due to
f
the loss of light caused by the properties of the screen.
When the remote control signal receiver is lit with a fluorescent light or other strong light source, the projector may become
f
inoperative. Set the projector as far from the luminous source as possible.
