Battery Replacement

• Replace batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish or stops working.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type (AAA).
• Remove batteries if the remote control will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
• Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

Troubleshooting

Remote control is not responding:

• Check if the batteries are inserted correctly with the right polarity.

• Make sure you are within the effective operating range (typically 7 meters / 23 feet).
• Check if the projector's IR receiver is clean and unobstructed.

Some buttons are not working:

• This remote is designed for specific Viewsonic projector models. Some buttons may have functions specific to certain projector features and might not be active on all compatible models.
• Ensure the remote is clean and there's no debris stuck under the buttons.
