Remote control
■Notes on remote control and batteries
•The area between the remote control and this unit must be clear of large obstacles.
•Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the remote control.
•Be careful not to drop the remote control.
•Do not leave or store the remote control in the following conditions:
–places of high humidity, such as near a bathroom
–places of high temperatures, such as near a heater or stove
–places of extremely low temperatures
–dusty places
•Change all batteries if you notice the operation range of the remote control narrows.
•If the batteries run out, immediately remove them from the remote control to prevent an explosion or acid leak.
•If you find leaking batteries, discard the batteries immediately, taking care not to touch the leaked material. If the leaked material comes into contact with your skin or gets into your eyes or mouth, rinse it away immediately and consult a doctor. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.
•Do not use old batteries together with new ones. This may shorten the life of the new batteries or cause old batteries to leak.
•Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and manganese batteries) together. Batteries that look the same may have a different specification.
•Dispose of batteries according to your regional regulations.
•Keep the batteries in a location out of reach of children.
Batteries can be dangerous if a child were to put in his or her mouth.
•If you plan not to use this unit for a long period of time, remove the batteries from this unit. Otherwise, the batteries will wear out, possibly resulting in a leakage of battery liquid that may damage this unit.
