+Logitech R500 Laser presentation remote operating distance
In ideal situations, the R500 Laser presentation remote can operate up to 65 feet (20 meters) with
the receiver in clear sight of the presenter.
If you’re not getting this distance:
Make sure the battery is good
Make sure the R500 USB receiver is plugged in properly.
Make sure the USB receiver and the R500 remote are in direct line of sight of each other
Make sure there are no wires or dongles connected close to the USB receiver.
Try connecting via Bluetooth
Move devices such as cell phones, radios, wireless routers, microwaves, and other devices that
emit radio waves or could cause radio interference (RF) away from your work area.
To determine if your environment is causing shorter than expected ranges, try using your
Spotlight presenter in a different environment to see if the distance improves.
