System Maintenance

The 7352L remote is powered by a 1.5V AAA battery. The battery level indicator has three indicators that serve as a visual indication of battery charge. When the battery reaches a low charge level that requires replacement, the remote generates a single notiﬁcation chirp, and the battery level indicator ﬂashes continuously.

Battery Replacement

Gently pull the battery cover release tab, then slide the door down to expose the battery and remove the expired battery. Place the new battery into the remote observing the correct polarity. When power is returned all icons in the LCD are lit, and the remote plays a melody.
