Remote control code
The projector can be assigned to 8 different remote control codes, 1 to 8. When several adjacent projectors are in operation at the same time, switching the remote control codes can prevent interference from other remote controls. Set the remote control code for the projector first before changing that for the remote control.
To switch the code for the projector, select from among 1 to 8 in the SYSTEM SETTING: ADVANCED > Remote Control Code menu.
To switch the code for the remote control, press the ID set and the number button corresponding to the remote control code set in the projector OSD together for 5 seconds or more. The initial code is set to 1. When the code is switched to 8, the remote control can control every projector. If different codes are set on the projector and remote control, there will be no response from the remote control. When that happens, switch the code for the remote control again.
Replacing the remote control batteries
- To open the battery cover, turn the remote control over to view its back, press the finger grip on the cover, and pull it up in the direction of the arrow as illustrated.
- Remove any existing batteries (if necessary) and install two AAA batteries observing the battery polarities as indicated in the base of the battery compartment. Positive (+) goes to positive and negative (-) goes to negative.
- Refit the cover by aligning it with the base and pushing it back down into position. Stop when it clicks into place.
WARNING
- Avoid leaving the remote control and batteries in an excessive heat or humid environment like the kitchen, bathroom, sauna, sunroom, or in a closed car.
- Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.
- Dispose of the used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local environmental regulations for your region.
- Never throw the batteries into a fire. There may be a danger of an explosion.
- If the batteries are drained or if you will not be using the remote control for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid damage to the remote control from possible battery leakage.
