Chapter 2Getting Started

Power supply precautions

Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (-) polarities of each battery match the polarities indicated in the compartment.

Do not use the optional charger when using alkaline or other non-rechargeable batteries.

Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat or flame.

Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

Power supply tips

Device configuration data is automatically saved when batter- ies are being replaced.

When the batteries are weak, it is harder to control devices from a distance.

Be sure to replace rechargeable batteries if they have been used for longer than two years or have been recharged over 500 times; extended use can lead to a danger of leakage.

Battery low icon

When the battery charge is low, the battery low icon is displayed in the information screen. You should recharge the batteries or replace them with new ones immediately.

Battery life and backlight function

Battery life depends mainly on the use of the backlight function. Your batteries can last up to three months or only a few days if you con- stantly use the backlight. To prolong battery life you should use conservative settings for the backlight (short “on period” and “auto on” only at a low ambient light level). For more information refer to page 50, Adjusting the LCD Backlight
