8  USING THE PROJECTOR

The projector has a set of features and functions you should familiarize with
in order to get the most out of using the unit.

Further information is provided in the Advanced Features section.

8.1 

REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control is used to adjust the projector for the best possible
image, either directly or through the menu system. It is also used during
presentations for computer mouse control and with special presentation
tools.

The remote control may be pointed directly at the projector
front, where the receiver is situated, or indirectly by pointing
at the projection screen. When pointing at the screen, point
at an angle that reflects  the beam towards the projector.

The trackball is by default controlling the computer mouse (if the mouse
cable is connected properly). With some functions, like POINTER, MASK
and in the menu system, the mouse control is disabled.
