Before You Start

Using the Remote Control

• Point the Remote Control at the REMOTE SENSOR located on the Unit.

• When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared REMOTE SENSOR may be degraded, causing unreliable operation.

• The recommended effective distance for remote operation is about 16 feet (5 meters).

To install Batteries

1.Open the battery door.

Battery Replacement

When batteries become weak, the operating distance of the Remote Control is greatly reduced and you will need to replace the batteries.

2.Insert two "AA" or UM-3 size batteries.

Notes:

• If the Remote Control is not going to be used for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage caused by battery leakage corrosion.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix ALKALINE, standard (CARBON-ZINC) or rechargeable (NICKEL-CADMIUM) batteries.
