Battery Replacement

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