Controls and Features Loading Batteries into the Remote Control Please load batteries into the remote control. If the remote control starts to work erratically, replace the batteries. 1. Open the back cover • Push the hook on the back cover lightly in the direction of the arrow and lift it up. 2. Load the batteries • Place the two supplied batteries (AA/R6-size) into the remote control as illustrated below. To prevent short circuit, be sure to insert the minus · end of the battery first. Precautions for using batteries If batteries are used incorrectly, they may crack or leak. This could cause fire, burn, malfunction, staining or damaging of the surroundings. Beware of the following: • Do not mix new and old batteries. • Do not mix different types of batteries as they are differ- ent in characteristics. • Place batteries so they match the polarities indicated on the cartridge. • Be sure to insert the minus · end in first to avoid short- circuiting. • Do not put batteries into a fire or try to recharge them. • Use only designated batteries. • Remove the batteries if the remote control is not to be used for a prolonged period. Battery Life Batteries run for six months to one year in normal use. However, the batteries supplied are for confirming operation and may not run that long. When the remote control starts failing to work properly, replace the batteries with new ones. Battery Leakage When the batteries are totally exhausted and can no longer be used, replace them immediately. Leaving the batteries in the battery compartment causes battery leakage which in turn causes malfunction. Further, in cases where the leakage comes to contact with the skin, wipe it away with a cloth, otherwise skin problems may occur. 3. Close the back cover • Close the back cover by inserting the end first and pressing down until a click is heard. 14
