Installing the
Battery
To keep an accurate time, your Dream Machine requires one 6F22 (9V) battery (not supplied), in addition to the house current. The battery keeps the clock operating in the event of a power interruption. Before setting the time on your Dream Machine, open the lid at the bottom of the unit, install the battery with the correct polarity and then close the lid.
Note
After a power interruption, the displayed time may not be always correct. (It may gain or lose about 10 minutes per hour.)
To check when to replace the battery
To check the remaining battery power, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and plug it in again after a few minutes. If the
displayed time is incorrect, replace the battery with a new one.
Determining the Optimal Location for the Dream Machine
The Dream Machine employs an omnidirectional infrared ray system which enables the flexible positioning of the Dream Machine anywhere in your room!
Read the following carefully and familiarize yourself with the optimal location of the Dream Machine.
Effective range of the infrared rays (See ill. A)
The effective range of the infrared rays emitted from the infrared dome of the Dream Machine is approximately 5 m (16 ft.) with a vertical angle of approximately 40°. Make sure to place your TV, cable or VCR unit so that the infrared ray sensors are located within this range.
Notes on optimal location
•Place the Dream Machine in an area with a direct line of sight from your TV, cable or VCR unit. Remove any object that might obstruct the direct line between the infrared dome of your Dream Machine and the infrared ray sensor.
•Do not place the Dream Machine in an area subject to direct sunlight or under any strong illumination. The ominidirectional infrared ray system may not operate properly.
•Do not use any other infrared ray remote control device simultaneously with the Dream Machine. An interference may occur and the unit may not operate properly.
