8 Preparation
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
recommended type.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different
types of batteries (standard or alkaline).
• Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic
parts.
Note: Do not press any of the remote control’s keys
while installing batteries.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Press the battery compartment cover’s tab and lift
off the cover.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indi-
cated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked
inside.
3. Replace the cover.
When batteries become low, the remote control stops
operating to protect stored settings. Replacing the bat-
teries with new ones restores full functionality and
does not require you to reprogram your remote con-
trol.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and prop-
erly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the remote for a
month or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can
leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
Note: Do not place objects on top of the remote con-
trol after you have installed the batteries. This can de-
press keys for an extended period of time and reduce
the battery life.
