ADJUSTING THE LCD CONTRAST

To adjust the LCD contrast:

Pressing the HOME button and Up on the joystick simultaneously will make the LCD contrast darker. Pressing the HOME button and Down on the joystick simultaneously will make the LCD contrast brighter.

BATTERY LIFE

Under normal operating conditions, the batteries will last approximately six months. If the batteries are running low, there will be reduced range from the remote, commands that are not sent properly, or are not sent at all. The backlighting of the LCD screen and the buttons may be diminished. Should any of these occur, replace the batteries immediately. To ensure proper performance of the remote, use four new AAA alkaline batteries. However, the worn batteries should be replaced with a fresh set as soon as possible. Do not mix new and used batteries.

Note:

If the batteries are running low, the LCD displays “LOW BATTERY” when the POWER button is pressed, or when the HOME and ENT but- tons are pressed simultaneously.

The remote has an internal memory lock system that retains all of the programs and learned functions for an extended period of time in the event of battery loss or replacement.
