RCA 390 - Manual (Page 15)

Remote Control
Before you use the remote control unit supplied with your
VCR, install the batteries (instructions below). Most of the
remote’s buttons do the same things as the buttons with
the same names on the front of your VCR, and you can
use whichever one is more convenient at the moment.
The remote control is also used for setting the clock and
programming the timer.
Since the remote control operates the VCR by infrared
light, it is immune to electrical and sound interference.
However, you must aim the remote unit directly at the
VCR. There cannot be any obstructions between them.
Battery Installation ------------------------------ --------------
The batteries supplied with your remote control are
packed separately. To install them in the hand unit:
1. Turn the hand unit over and remove the cover ot the
battery compartment.
2. Insert the batteries so that their positive { + ) ends
contact the positive terminals in the battery compart­
ment. These are marked (-I-) in the bottom of the
compartment.
3. Replace the cover.

Replace the batteries when your VCR fails to respond to
the remote control. Replacement batteries are widely
available. Use size “AA” 1.5 volt cells. Alkaline type bat­
teries are preferred. Good batteries should last a year or
more in normal service.
Avoid laying the remote control upside down or placing
things on top of it. This could depress the buttons and
discharge the batteries. If you are not going to use the
hand unit for a month or more, it is wise to remove the
batteries to avoid leakage.
