Inserting batteries

1Open the battery cover.

2Insert the supplied two AA size batteries.

Allowed operation range of the remote control unit

Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the remote control sensor located at the bottom right of the front panel of the Plasma Display. The distance from the remote control sensor must be within 7 m (23 feet) and the angle relative to the sensor must be within 30 degrees in the right or left direction.

• The battery polarities must correspond with the (+) and	30°
(–) indicators in the battery compartment.	30°	Remote control

Cautions regarding batteries

•The remote control unit cannot operate the system if the batteries in the unit are empty. When this happens, replace the batteries with new ones.

•Do not use manganese batteries. When you replace the batteries, use alkaline ones.

•Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics.

•Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical leakage in old batteries.

•Do not leave dead batteries in the remote control unit; chemical leakage will occur. If you find any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.

•The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

•If you will not use the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from it.

•WHEN DISPOSING OF USED BATTERIES, BE SURE TO COMPLY WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION GUIDELINES THAT APPLY IN YOUR COUNTRY OR AREA.

Cautions regarding the remote control unit

•Do not expose the remote control unit to shock, liquid, or high humidity.

•Do not place the remote control unit under direct sunlight; the unit may deform.

•The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote sensor window of the Plasma Display is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of the lighting or Plasma Display, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote sensor window.

•When any obstacle exists between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor, the remote control unit may not function.

•As the batteries become empty, the remote control unit can function within a shorter distance from the remote control sensor. Replace the batteries with new ones if necessary.

•The Plasma Display emits very weak infrared rays from its screen. If you place such equipment operated through infrared remote control as a VCR nearby, that equipment may not receive commands from its remote control unit properly or entirely. If this is the case, place that equipment at a location far enough from the Plasma Display.

•Depending on the installation environment, infrared rays from the Plasma Display may not allow this system to properly receive commands from the remote control unit or may shorten allowable distances between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor. The strength of infrared rays emitted from the screen differs, depending on images displayed on the screen.
