Installing the Batteries

■ Slide open the battery compartment and insert two size AA batteries (not supplied). Be sure to line up the O and O on the batteries with the O and 9 on the battery compartment.
Notes on Batteries
• Under normal conditions, batteries will last up to six months. If the Remote Commander does not operate
.. properly, the batteries might be worn
out. When replacing batteries, replace both of them with new ones.
• Do not mix old batteries with new ones or mix different types of batteries together.
• Whenever you remove the batteries — to replace them, for example — the code numbers you've set are automatically erased and must be . reset.
• If the electrolyte inside the battery should leak, wipe the contaminated area of the battery compartment with a cloth and replace the old batteries with new ones. To prevent the electrolyte from leaking, remove the batteries when you plan to not use the Commander for a long period of time.
