01Before you start

Remote control battery indicator

When the batteries get too weak to operate the remote control properly an indicator warning screen will appear on the remote. Change the batteries as shown above. This must be done within five minutes or all your remote control settings will be cleared.

Operating range of the remote control

The operating range is quite large, but please keep in mind the following when using the remote control:

•Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote and the remote sensor on the unit.

•The remote has a range of about 7 meters.

•Remote operation may become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the unit’s remote sensor.

•Remote controllers for different devices can interfere with each other. Avoid using remotes for other equipment located close to this unit.
