PREPARATION
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your remote control requires four AAA batt eries (not suppl ied) fo r pow er. For th e bes t pe rformance and longest life, we recommend
RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old an d new batter ies or d ifferent types of batteries.
• Do not press any of the remote control's
keys while installing batteries.
Note:
You do not need to reprogra m your remote control after rem oving the batteries, because no stored information is lost during
battery replacement.
1. Press the battery compartment cover's tab
and lift off the cover.
2. Place the batter ies in the com par tme nt as
indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
When the remote control's range decreases or
it stops operating properly, replace the batteries.
Caution:
Batteries can leak chemi cals that can destroy
electronic parts.
Warning:
