Before Using the DTR-8.4

Installing the Batteries

1 To open the battery compartment, press the small hollow and slide off the cover.

2 Insert the three supplied batteries (AA/R6) in accordance with the polarity diagram inside the battery compartment.

3 Put the cover onto the remote controller and slide it shut.

Notes:

The batteries should last for about six months, although this will vary with usage.

If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try replacing the batteries.

Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of batteries.

If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possi- ble to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

Using the Remote Controller

To use the remote controller, point it at the DTR-8.4’s remote control sensor, as shown below.

Notes:

The remote controller may not work reliably if the DTR-8.4 is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind when installing.

If another remote controller of the same type is used in the same room, or the DTR-8.4 is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control- ler may not work reliably.

Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con- troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert- ently, thereby draining the batteries.

The remote controller may not work reliably if the DTR-8.4 is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing.

The remote controller will not work if there’s an obsta- cle between it and the DTR-8.4’s remote control sen- sor.

You can set the transmission signal format to infrared (IR), or radio frequency (RF) for use with the optional RF Receiver. This is useful when, for example, the DTR-8.4 is installed in a rack or is not in line of sight of the remote controller.
