Preparing the Remote Control

Loading the batteries

Load the batteries into the remote control as shown below. The remote control uses a lot of power due to the LCD display so please use alkaline batteries. Depending on individual use you may have to change the batteries fairly often but most users should be able to get an average of 1-3 months of battery life. When you notice a decrease in the operating range or if the alarm sounds (see below), replace all batteries with new ones.

NOTE: After replacing the batteries, the touch panel will need re-adjusting (see p. 8-9).
