Notes:

• Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds

of batteries.

• To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote

controller is not to be used for a long time.

• Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from

corrosion. If the remote controller does not operate smoothly,
replace both batteries at the same time.

• The life of the batteries supplied is about six months but this

will vary depending on usage.

Notes:

• Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or

inverted fluorescent light which can prevent proper operation
of the remote controller.

• Using another remote controller of the same type in the same

room or using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays
may cause operational interference.

• Do not put objects on the remote controller. Its buttons may be

pressed by mistake and drain the batteries.

• Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass.

Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote
controller operation.

• If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the

remote control sensor, the remote controller will not operate.
