Remote Control Parts
Important:
1. Avoid using the PC Free with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-frequency fluo-
rescent lights can disrupt remote control operation.
2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the PC Free. If the path be-
tween remote and PC Free is obstructed, you can bounce the remote signal off certain reflective
surfaces such as projector screens.
3. The buttons and keys on the PC Free have the same functions as the corresponding buttons on
the remote control. This user’s manual describes the functions based on the remote control. (The
onscreen cursor can not be controlled with the PC Free buttons; use the remote control cursor pad
or connect a mouse to the PC Free.)
