CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
When you dispose of the battery, you must obey the law in the relative area or country.
Most of the operations with the unit can be controlled with the supplied
Remote Commander.
1 Remove the battery compartment cover.
2 Insert two size AA (R6) batteries with correct polarities into the battery
compartment.
Chapter 1: Installation and Preparation
3 Replace the cover.
Note
Be sure to insert the batteries E side first. Inserting them forcibly e side first may
damage the insulated film covering the batteries and cause a short circuit.
Battery life
When the batteries are exhausted, the LED indicator does not light if you press
any button and the Remote Commander does not function properly. Replace
both batteries with new ones.
Notes on batteries
To avoid damage from possible battery leakage or corrosion, observe the
following:
19Preparing the System
• Make sure to insert the batteries with the polarities in the correct direction.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.
• Do not attempt to charge the batteries.
• If you do not intend to use the Remote Commander for a long period of time,
remove the batteries.
• If battery leakage occurs, clean the battery compartment and replace all the
batteries with new ones.
Installing batteries
Two size AA (R6) batteries are required to operate the supplied Remote
Commander.
To avoid risk of explosion, use size AA (R6) manganese or alkaline batteries.
Pairing the Remote Commander with the Unit
The supplied Remote Commander controls the unit using the radio frequency
of 2.4 GHz. The Remote Commander and the unit are paired to prevent
interference from other Remote Commanders and systems.
Pairing between the Remote Commander and the unit is programmed at the
factory.
Note
When performing a pairing procedure, be sure to turn off other HD Visual
Communication Systems located nearby that are not targets for pairing. If multiple
devices are turned on, the Remote Commander might pair with a device other than the
target one.
You can use the following procedure if you need to perform pairing with the
unit again.
