Using the remote
• The supplied batteries are for operational checks, and may not last as long as
alkaline batteries.
• If the remote-controllable distance begins to shorten, replace both batteries with new ones.
• Direct sunlight or light from a high-frequency fluorescent lamp may cause the remote
sensor on the DT-7000S front panel to not function properly. If this happens, move the
DT-7000S out of this direct light.
