Tip

With normal use, the batteries should last for about six months. When the remote no longer operates the system, replace both batteries with new ones.

Notes on batteries

Make sure the battery poles (plus/minus) are properly oriented.

Do not use a new battery with an old one.

Do not use different types of batteries together.

If you do not use the remote for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

Do not use a battery that is leaking.

If a battery has leaked, clean the battery compartment and replace all the batteries.

Do not place the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.

Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

The preset stations are saved in the system’s memory for about a day even if you disconnect the power cord or a power failure occurs.

To change the AM tuning interval (not applicable on the European and Middle Eastern models)

The AM tuning interval is factory-preset to 9 kHz (or 10 kHz on North American model). To switch the AM tuning interval, tune in any AM station first, then turn off the system. Pressing TUNER + on the unit down, turn the system back on. When you change the interval, all the AM preset stations are erased. To change back to the original interval, repeat the same procedure for CMT-CP2W. For CMT-CP2WA, tune in any AM station first, then turn off the system. Pressing TUNER – down, turn the system back on.
