Notes on Batteries

qWhen the batteries become weak, the Function button indicator ﬂashes. If the remote control does not operate properly, the batteries might be weak. When replacing batteries, replace both batteries with new ones. Do not mix different types of batteries together.

qWhen you remove the batteries — to replace them, for example — any codes you’ve set may be erased. If this happens, you must reprogram the remote. See “Programming the Remote Control” on page 85 for details.

qWhen replacing the batteries, do not touch any buttons on the remote control.
