Cautions regarding batteries

Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instruc-

tions below.

•Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) as indicated in the compartment.

•Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.

•Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new

battery and/or cause the old battery to leak chemicals.

•Remove batteries when they become weak.

Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical leakage is found, wipe with a

cloth.

•The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

•If the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the

remote control.

Using the Remote Control

■Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote

control sensor window on the main unit. Objects between

the remote control and sensor window may prevent proper

operation.

Cautions regarding use of the remote control

■Do not expose the remote control to shock.

In addition, do not expose the remote control to liquid, and

do not place in an area with high humidity.

■Do not install or place the remote control under direct

sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.

■The remote control may not work properly if the remote

control sensor window of the main unit is under direct

sunlight or strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of

the lighting or LCD TV set, or operate the remote control

closer to the remote control sensor window.
