Installing the battery

1 While pushing the knob in the direction of the arrow, pull out the holder.

2 Insert the battery with the “+” marking face up.

3 Return the holder to its original position.

OWhen the battery (CR2025) has completely run down, replace it with a new one. (The battery life is about one year although it depends on how often the remote control unit is used.) If the remote control unit is operated near the camera recorder’s remote control sensor and the camera recorder fails to operate, it means that the battery has run down.

OKeep batteries out of the reach of small children.
