10_Calibrate the Air Mouse.pngCalibrate the Air Mouse
Is your cursor not moving in sync with your remote? To fix this, turn off the Air Mouse by pressing the cursor button on your remote, point the remote at the centre of the screen, and then turn the Air Mouse back on. Your cursor should now move in line with your remote.

Remote Batteries
Make sure the batteries are inserted correctly in your remote control and that the pull tab has been removed. If you've been using the remote for a while, the batteries might need replacing.

Pairing
Are none of your Merlyn buttons working? Your remote might not be paired.

See the instructions for pairing your remote.
