Battery replacement

If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used closer to the main unit than usual, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries with new ones.

Notes

•Use only AAA batteries for replacement.

•Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.)

•Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not be used for an extended period of time.

•If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.
