•If another remote controller of the same type is used in the same room, or the receiver is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote controller may not work reliably.

•Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote controller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently, thereby draining the batteries.

•The remote controller may not work reliably if the receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing.

The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle between it and the receiver’s remote control sensor.
