Using the Remote Control The Disklavier control unit is equipped with a remote control which allows convenient control from almost anywhere in the room. This section provides notes on handling the remote control. ■ Installing Batteries in the Remote Control Before the remote control can be used, the two batteries supplied with the Disklavier control unit must be installed. Remove the battery cover from the rear of the remote control, install the batteries, and then replace the cover. Chapter 2 Getting Started English A diagram inside the battery compartment shows which way the batteries should be installed. Make sure you insert them correctly. ■ Battery Replacement When the remote control fails to work from a distance, replace the batteries. • Replacement batteries should be UM-3, AA, R6P, or LR6 type. • Do not use new and old dry batteries together. • Do not use different types of batteries (alkaline and manganese batteries, batteries made by different manufacturers or different battery products made by the same manufacturer) together. • Remove spent batteries immediately from the remote control. Otherwise, batteries will overdischarge, causing them to leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in damage to nearby objects or in burns, injury or other bodily harm. • Dispose of batteries in accordance with the applicable regulations and ordinances. • If the remote control is not to be used for a prolonged period of time, remove the batteries to prevent possible damage by battery leakage. • If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked electrolyte or letting it come into contact with skin or clothing. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries. Important: Be sure to read the section on "Handling Batteries" on page iii for details on the safe handling of dry batteries. 13
