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.
