Tune an AM radio to a station with no

broadcasting. Press a button on remote control toward the radio. Sound will be fluttering when you press any key and the

radio receives the signal. This means the

remote control is working.

• With a digital camera (including built-in camera of

cellular phone):

Direct a digital camera to remote control,

press and hold a button on remote control. If

infrared light appears through digital camera,

the remote control is working.
