Chapter 3: Using the remote control

If you have a Toshiba device:

You can program the TV remote control so it will operate the other device (pages 22–26).

Installing the remote control batteries

1￿ Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote control.

Squeeze tab and lift cover.

2￿ Install two “AAA” size batteries, making sure to match the + and – signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.

3￿ Reinsert the battery cover in the remote control until the tab snaps.

Caution:

•Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area. Never throw batteries into a fire.

•Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.

•Never mix battery types or combine used batteries with new ones.

•Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

Note:

•Be sure to use AAA size batteries.

•Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.

•Batteries should always be disposed of with the

environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

•If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the operating range becomes reduced, replace batteries with new ones.

•When necessary to replace batteries in the remote control, always replace both batteries with new ones. Never mix battery types or use new and used batteries in combination.
