house with stand-off insulatorsspaced 4 ft. (1.22mm) to
6 ft. (1.83mm) apart.
3. Mount the antenna discharge unit as close as possibleto
the place where the lead-in enters the house.
4. Use a jumper wire that is no smaller than No. 6 AWG
(13.3mm2) copper, or the equivalent, when using a
separate antenna grounding electrode.See NEC Section
810-21(1).
5. In areasthat are heavily prone to lightningstormsinstall

control to make sure the remote control is able to turn your
component off. This means it is functioning properly.
6. If your component does not respond to the remote control POWER
key, even though it has "accepted" the manufacturer’s code, repeat
steps 3 and 4 using the second three-digit code from the table. If this
does not work, try the third code, etc., until the remote control accepts
the code and your component responds to the remote control POWER
key.

UsingYourRemote
If You Have More Than One Receiver
If you have more than one receiver, you may want to preventtheremote controls
from affecting the other receivers. To prevent this kindofinterference, you must
"pair" each remote control with one receiver. In order to do this, you will have to
assign a new "address" to each pair of remote controls and receivers so that each
pair functions independentlyof the others. If you have two or more receivers see
Chapter 4, for information about the procedure for changingaddresses.
Replacing the Remote Control Batteries
When the remote controlbatteries are worn out (discharged), the remote will stop
working. Replace the batteriesas soon as possible to retain your programmed
codes. Once you remove the batteries fromthecompartment, you mustreplace
them within two hours to retain your programmablefeatures. The remote control

batteries at the same time. T o replace the batteries:
- Remove the cover by pressing down the back panel indentation and
removing the panel off the remote control.
- Position each battery in the battery compartment so that the flat base (-)
