Changing the Batteries

Lift and pull the latch on the back of the remote to open.
Insert two AA batteries (supplied), carefully noting the "+" and "-" markings on the batteries and
on the remote control.To avoid a potential short circuit, insert the "-" end first. Be sure to use
only size AAbatteries. When batteries are installed, snap the cover back into place.
• If the remote control acts erratically, replace the batteries.Typical battery life is six months to
one year.We recommend using alkaline batteries for longer battery life.
When you change the batteries,try to complete the task within three minutes. If you take
longer than three minutes,the remote control codes for your VCR, DVD,and/or Cable
Box may have to be reset (see page 20-22).
