not installed properly,
or battery low.

“CL” the clock is not set or

it is not set properly.

“Fu” the memory is full; should

erase some messages to
allow message recording.

“Sc” to change the remote

control security code.

2. After locating the battery compartment, open the compartment

cover by unscrewing the adjacent screw with a screwdriver.

3. Place a 9 Volt 6LR61 battery into the compartment by following

the positive/negative polarity arrangement as indicated inside.
