BATTERY USE AND SAFETY

•Use only new batteries of the required size and recommended type.

•Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (e.g., standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

•If you do not plan to use the remote control for an extended period, remove the batteries. They can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

WARNING: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do no burn or bury them.

•Reducing the brightness level of the display screen (see “Adjusting Brightness” on page 7).

•Disabling the Kameleon “tilt on” feature (see “Disabling the Tilt Switch” on page 12).
