-
Connect the Receiver: Logitech Presentation Remotes typically come with a USB receiver. Plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on your computer. The receiver should be recognized and drivers installed automatically. Make sure the receiver is securely connected.
-
Turn On the Remote: Some remotes have an on/off switch. Turn it on. Others might have a button you need to press to wake it up.
-
Launch Your Presentation Software: Open the presentation software you're using (e.g., Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides, Apple Keynote).
-
Start the Presentation: Navigate to the slide from which you want to start your presentation.

Navigate Through Slides: You can typically use the following buttons on the remote:
- Next Slide (Forward): Press the right arrow or forward button to move to the next slide.
- Previous Slide (Backward): Press the left arrow or backward button to go to the previous slide.
-
Laser Pointer (if available): Some presentation remotes have a built-in laser pointer. You can activate the laser pointer by pressing a button on the remote.

Blank Screen (if available): Some remotes have a button to blank the screen during your presentation. Press this button to hide the slide temporarily.
-
End the Presentation: When you've finished your presentation, simply close your presentation software or press the "Escape" key on your keyboard.
