TARGUS WIRELESS REMOTE PRESENTER

Introduction

The Targus Wireless Remote Presenter features a cursor control pad and four (4) control buttons that emulate mouse controls and command keys in PowerPoint^®.

Connecting the Receiver

NOTE: You should expect that the device has been already installed for the BMRA laptop that it accompanies.

To connect the receiver to your computer, plug the standard USB end of the receiver (Figure 1)

Figure 1 - Receiver

into any available USB port on your computer. Your computer’s operating system identifies the receiver as a “USB Human Interface Device” and begins installing the default driver. Follow any on-screen procedures to complete the default driver installation.

NOTE: The width of this transmitter makes it easy to plug into the network port. Needless to say, it WON'T WORK if you plug it into the network port. Look at this diagram to make sure you plug it into a USB port.

You are now ready to begin using the presenter.

Troubleshooting

Why is my Previous Page key (Key 2) popping up a menu with Next, Previous, Go, etc.?

›        The Presenter is in Mouse Mode. Use the Cursor Control (Key 4) to choose what you’d like to do (Previous, for example) and press Key 1 to choose. Then, before you press any other key, toggle back into Presenter Mode by pressing Key 5.

What do I do if the response time of the presenter’s mouse is slow or intermittently stops working?

›        Try the steps below first. If you are still having problems, use the Laptop keyboard to change the slides as an interim solution – this will avoid delaying the class. Then contact the BMRA Help Desk for assistance at the next opportunity. (703) 691-0868

›        Increase the distance between the presenter’s receiver and the rest of your computer equipment.
