Take Control Care of Your Take Control-Cont. Replacing the Batteries Take Control provides you with two levels of low-battery indication: Low Battery and Low Battery Warning. A Low Battery indication appears as an icon in the title bar on the touchscreen, next to the time display. This icon appears when batteries reach a level of 4.0 volts. You can continue to operate the TC1000 when this icon appears. A Low Battery Warning indication appears as an icon in the center of the touchscreen. You will see this icon for four seconds, before the touchscreen turns off. This icon appears when batteries reach a level of 3.8 volts. You cannot operate the TC1000 with a Low Battery Warning. If you receive a low-battery indication, replace all of your batteries with fresh AA alkaline batteries. During replacement, ensure that all the batteries are oriented properly in the battery compartment, observing the key-a vertical slot for the battery tip-for the positive (+) end. If the batteries are not inserted properly, the TC1000 will not work. Tip Keep the period short for the Display timeout feature to extend the life of your batteries. Important Removing one or more batteries returns the contrast, speaker, and time to their default configuration. It does not change learned IR codes, activities, macros, or any customizing of buttons performed through the Take Control Editor. Battery Safety Precautions l Keep batteries out of reach of children. l Don't mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types (for example, carbon and alkaline batteries). l Always remove old, weak, or wornout batteries promptly and dispose of them in accordance with your local ordinances. l If a battery leaks, remove all batteries and dispose of them in accordance with your local ordinances. Before inserting new batteries, thoroughly clean the battery compartment with a damp paper towel, or follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations for cleanup. If fluid from the battery comes into contact with skin or clothes, flush skin with water immediately. l Remove the batteries if your system controller is to be stored for longer than a month without being used. Special Precautions The precautions below are to prevent the sudden release of electrolytes, which these prohibited actions can cause: l Do not open, puncture, or mutilate the batteries. l Do not heat batteries in an attempt to recharge them. l Do not use a fire to dispose of batteries. Released battery electrolyte is corrosive, can cause damage to the eyes and skin, and may be toxic if swallowed. 28
