If your computer came equipped with an Apple Remote, you can use it to control your slideshow. The buttons on the Apple Remote can be used to move forward or back; to play, pause, continue, or exit the slideshow; and to control your computer’s volume.

You must open the Keynote document on your computer before you can begin to control it using the Apple Remote.
