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 for this unit is powered by two AAA batteries. Use only high quality, non­corrosivebatteries designed for use in electronic equipment. Replace both 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 (-) is against thespring so thattheraised contact(+) isagainst theterminal. Make sure the batteries are securely seated.
- Replace the cover.
