Using the Presentation Remote to Control Your Presentation Software
To control your presentation software (ie PowerPoint, KeyNote, etc), first launch your software and enter its 'slideshow' mode (see your software's user manual for details on how to enter slideshow mode). Once you are in the slideshow, use the Composite Switch to move backwards and forward in your slideshow. You can also control your mouse cursor by using the MOUSE button and the LEFT/RIGHT CLICK buttons.
The Presentation Remote has two different modes of operation: Presentation Mode and Media Mode. Presentation Mode is used to control your presentation software. Media Mode is used to control media controls such as volume. To Switch between the two different modes, press the triangle-shaped MODE button on the remote control. The MODE button will flash green when the remote is in Media Mode. Press the MODE button again to return to Presentation Mode.
Using the Presentation Remote's Laser Pointer(Presentation Mode)
By default, the laser is DISABLED. To ENABLE the laser pointer, press and hold down the Laser button AND the Mode button simultaneously. Press both buttons down until the Mode Button blinks RED telling you that the laser has been enabled. Note, you may need to hold down both buttons for up to 5 seconds before the Mode button flashes red. Once the laser pointer has been enabled, simply press and hold the laser button to turn on the laser. The laser will stay enabled for 30 minutes after your last laser button press.
Syncing Your Remote To The RF Receiver / Using Multiple Remotes
If your remote control is not responding or if another Presentation Remote is interfering with your remote, try changing the remote's ID and re-syncing your remote. To do this, A) on the remote control, PRESS AND HOLD the Mode button and IN on the Composite Switch together until the Mode button flashes green rapidly (this may take up to 5 seconds). Next, quickly B) press the Sync Remote Button on the top of the RF receiver (USB device) using a paper clip or similar object. Last, C) press in on the remote control's Composite Switch. This will sync/pair the remote and the receiver together using the new ID.
