NOTE If the display is too light or too dark, adjust the contrast. (See page 14.)

BATTERY LIFE

When the batteries are running low, the Low Battery icon blinks at the center top of the display. The remote control may continue to operate your equipment with low batteries. However, you won’t be able to use the remote control’s learning or customizing features until the batteries have been replaced. This prevents the remote control from accidentally losing custom commands if it’s in a customization mode when the batteries run out.

TIP To preserve battery life, set the LCD backlight to stay on very brieﬂy (20 seconds or less). For instructions, see Chapter 5, “Settings.”

IF THE BATTERIES RUN OUT

The remote control will retain your commands and settings in memory even after the batteries run out. However, you should replace the worn batteries with a fresh set as soon as possible.

After replacing batteries, you’ll need to set the clock to the current time. For instructions, see Chapter 5, “Settings.”
