INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your RadioShack 5-in-One remote requires four AAA batteries (not supplied) for power. For
the best performance and longest life, we recommend using RadioShack alkaline batteries.
CAUTIONS:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
•Do not mix old and new batteries,different types of batteries (e.g., standard,alkaline,
or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
•If you do not plan to use the remote for an extended period, remove the batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
WARNING: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
TO INSTALL BATTERIES:
1.Press the tab on the battery compartment cover (located on the back of the
remote) and lift off the cover.
2.Place the AAA batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3.Align the cover key with the compartment opening and replace the cover.
4.Test the RadioShack 5-in-One remote by first pressing
device key (e.g.,
once after each key press.
NOTE: When the RadioShack 5-in-One remote stops operating properly, replace the batteries within
10 minutes (to protect the programming information).
