Battery Replacement

When batteries become weak, the operating distance of the Remote Control is greatly reduced and you will need to replace the batteries.

2. Insert two "AA" or UM-3 size batteries.

Notes:

• If the Remote Control is not going to be used for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage caused by battery leakage corrosion.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix ALKALINE, standard (CARBON-ZINC) or rechargeable (NICKEL-CADMIUM) batteries.

• The batteries may last approximately one year depending on how much the remote control is used.

• For the best performance it is recommended batteries be replaced on a yearly basis, or when remote operation becomes erratic.
