It allows you to control slides in a PowerPoint presentation and includes a built in laser pointer. The kit includes a remote with laser pointer (battery included), a receiver, a USB cable, a PS/2 cable, and a nylon carrying case. The remote uses radio frequency technology, so you don’t have to point the remote at the receiver to control your slides. The maximum distance between the remote and the receiver is 75 feet, depending on operating environment.System RequirementsThe only system requirements are USB or PS/2 compatibility. The PocketPoint RF is “plug and play” compatible with MAC OS 8 or higher and Windows 95 (PS/2 only), 98, NT, 2000 or higher.Connecting the Receiver to the ComputerFor maximum range, the receiver should be placed as far away as possible from any electronic devices. Power on your computer and let it boot up. If your computer has a USB port, plug one end of the USB cable into the USB port on the receiver and the other end into USB port on your computer. The computer should recognize the receiver as a “Human Interface Device” after about 15 seconds. Follow the instructions for installing new hard-ware (you may need to load the necessary USB driver from your operation system disk). Next time you plug the receiver into the same computer, it will take about 5 to 10 seconds to recognize the receiver. During the 5 to 10 sec-onds there will be little or no indication that the computer is communicating with the receiver. If your computer only has a PS/2 port, plug one end of the PS/2 cable into the PS/2 port on the receiver and the other end into PS/2 port on your computer (you may need to disconnect the keyboard from the PS/2 port on desktop computers). The computer should take about 5 to 15 seconds to recognize the receiver. However depending on your system, you may need to reboot to allow the computer to recog-nize the receiver.Training the Remote to the ReceiverThe remote has been trained to the receiver in the factory. Follow the following instructions if you ever need to re-train the remote to the receiver (for example, if you add another remote to the system). The receiver supports up to 7 remotes.Press and release the program button on the receiver (the LED lights solid). Press the advance button (the largest button) on the remote three times. On the third press, the LED will turn off, indicating the remote has been successful trained.To delete the remote’s memory, press and hold the program button. The LED lights for 3 seconds, then goes out. Release the program button.Product: PocketPoint RF Remote (HW-RF-POCKTPNT)PS/2 portUSB portLEDprogram buttonRF remote.fm Page 1 Friday, May 4, 2001 10:30 AM
Product NoteUsing the RemoteAfter connecting the receiver properly, simply start your PowerPoint presentation, put it in SlideShow mode, and press the larger advance button to advance the slides and the smaller reverse button to go back to the previous slide. The advance button mimics the “N” (next) button on the keypad and the reverse button mim-ics the “P” (previous) button. Press the smallest button to activate the laser pointer.Changing the Battery in the Remote1There are two “alignment dots” on the back of the remote case and one “alignment dot” on the battery cover. Insert a quarter into the slot on the battery cover and turn counter clockwise until the dot on the battery cover is lined up with the LEFT dot on the remote case. The battery cover will release.2Pry the battery out of the holder. Dispose of the battery in an environmentally proper manner.3Insert the new battery with the positive side facing you. The lithium 3.0 volt battery number is CR2032.4Make sure that the “alignment dot” on the battery cover is lined up with the LEFT “alignment dot” on the remote case as you replace the battery cover. Then turn clockwise until the dot on the battery cover is lined up with the RIGHT dot on the remote case.It is recommended that you always carry a spare battery.Troubleshooting“I’m pressing the advance button but the slides are not advancing.”1Check the cable connections.2Verify that the LED on the remote comes on solid when the advance or reverse button is pushed and that the laser pointer is at full brightness when the laser button is pushed. If not, replace the battery.3Verify that the transmitter has been trained to the receiver.4If using USB, verify that the correct operating system driver is loaded on your computer.5If using PS/2, try restarting the computer with the receiver plugged into the PS/2 port. Try reloading the driver, or try unplugging the receiver, waiting 10 seconds, and then plugging it back in.“The LED on the remote flashes or does not turn on when I push the advance or reverse button, or the laser pointer is dim or does not work when the laser button is pushed.”1The battery is dead. Replace the battery.“My slides are not advancing, and I see the letters “N” or “P” on the screen.”1Make sure that you have your presentation software in slide show mode. Pressing the advance button on the remote mimics pressing the “N” (next) button on the keypad and pressing the reverse button mimics pressing the “P” (previous) button while in SlideShow mode of PowerPoint. Other presentation applications may not interpret “N” and “P” as Next and Previous.Product SpecificationsTransmitter:· Range: Up to 75 feet, depending upon operating environment· Dimension: 2.6” (66mm)L x 1.5"(38mm)W x 0.5”(13mm)H· Weight: 1 oz (24 g) with batteries· Radio Frequency: 433 MHz · Laser: Diode Laser, 5mW max output at 650NM, Class IIIa· Power: CR2032 battery· Battery life: 1 year under normal operationReceiver:· Interface: PS/2 or USB port· Dimensions: 2.6”(66mm)L x 3.4” (86mm)W x 1.2” (31mm)H· Weight: 2 oz (59g) excluding cableRF remote.fm Page 2 Friday, May 4, 2001 10:30 AM
