If the plug will n ot fit in your AC outlets, you should have the outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.

This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the botto m of th e rub ber 'f eet' bef ore yo u place th e pro duct on fine wooden furniture.

REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY
REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY
The remote control requires one “button-type” 3-volt lithium battery, included. To extend the life of the original battery we have inserted a small clear plastic spacer tab between the lithium battery and the battery terminal. You must remove this battery spacer tab before you can use the remote control. To remove the tab, pull it in the direction of the arrow in the illustration as shown.
When the operation of the remote control becomes intermittent or unsatisfactory, replace the original battery with a new 3-volt lithium battery.
1.) Slide out the battery holder from the remote control case.
2.) Place one 3V CR2025 battery in the battery holder, observing the positive (+)
direction. If the battery is placed incorrectly the remote control will not work. CAUTION: Danger of explosion if the battery is placed incorrectly. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
3.) Insert the battery holder into the battery slot.
Notes: Use a well-known brand of cell battery for longest life and best performance. When the remote operation becomes intermittent, replace the battery.
