• Be sure the battery polarity is correct. (See the illustration inside

the battery compartment.)

• Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for an

extended period of time.

• If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid

touching the leaked material or letting it come into contact with

clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before
