3 Reinsert the battery cover in the remote control until the tab snaps.
Caution: Never throw batteries into a fire.
Note:
•Be sure to use AAA size batteries.
•Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.
•Batteries should always be disposed of with the environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
•If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the operating range becomes reduced, replace batteries with new ones.
•When necessary to replace batteries in the remote control, always replace both batteries with new ones. Never mix battery types or use new and used batteries in combination.
•Always remove batteries from the remote control if they are dead or if the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time. This will prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment.
