PREPARATION FOR USE (CONTINUED)
INSTALLING THE REMOTE CONTROL BATTERIES
The battery compartment is located on the rear of the remote control.
• Remove the battery compartment door by pressing down and sliding the door in the
direction of the arrow.
• Insert two (2) AA size batteries into the battery compartment as shown to the right.
Use a well known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best performance.
Be sure to observe the polarity markings which are engraved inside the battery
compartment. If the batteries are inserted incorrectly, the remote control will not
operate.
• Replace the battery compartment door.
• Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and Carbon Zinc) or old batteries with fresh
ones.
• When the operation of the remote control becomes intermittent, replace the batteries. A fresh set of
alkaline batteries should operate the remote for up to one year of normal use.

POWER SOURCE
NOTE: this system is designed to operate on 120V 60 Hz AC house current only. Connecting this
system to any other power supply could result in damage to the unit which is not covered by your
warranty.
Unwind the AC cord and extend it to its full length. Insert the small end of the AC cord into the AC socket on
the rear of the unit. Insert the other end of the AC cord into any convenient 120V 60Hz household outlet.
Please note that this unit is equipped with a polarized AC plug which has one blade wider than the other.
This is a safety feature to reduce the likelihood of electric shock. This polarized AC plug will only fit in a
polarized AC outlet. If you find that you cannot insert this plug into your outlet, you may have an obsolete
non-polarized outlet. Please do not try to defeat this safety feature by using a non-polarized adapter or by
filing the wider blade to make it fit into your outlet. If this plug does not fit into your outlet, you should contact
a qualified licensed electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Note: The smaller end of the AC cord, and the AC socket, have one “square” side and one “rounded” side.
The plug will fit into the socket only one way. If the plug does not fit into the socket, do not force it. Turn the
plug over and try to insert it again.
