Battery Installation in the RCU
A battery (not yet installed to save the battery life time) is delivered inside the plastic bag with
the power cord. Before using the RCU, start the battery installation procedure.
Remove the battery cover on the backside of the remote control by pushing the indicated handle
a little to the bottom of the RCU. Lift up the top side of the cover at the same time (fig.1)
Insert the new 9 V battery in the lower compartment and connect the battery to the contact plate.
Put the cover back on.
Note: the projector address has to be programmed on the RCU before using the RCU (see
chapter 'Controlling').
