05 Preparation Preparing the remote control unit Inserting batteries 1 Open the battery cover. Allowed operation range of the remote control unit To use the remote control, point it at the sensor located at the bottom right corner of the Plasma Display. The distance from the remote control sensor must be within 7 m (23 feet) and the angle relative to the sensor must be within 30 degrees left or right. 2 Load the supplied two AA batteries. Insert the negative polarity (-) ends first. 7 m 30º (23 feet) 30º Remote control sensor • The battery polarities must correspond with the (+) and (-) indicators in the battery compartment. 3 Close the battery cover. NOTE • Although the SR logo also appears in the lower right corner on the PRO-940HD, the sensor is in the same location for both panels. Cautions regarding batteries • The remote control unit cannot operate the system if the batteries in the unit are weak. When this happens, replace the batteries with new ones. • Use alkaline batteries rather than manganese batteries. • Do not mix battery brands. Different brands have different characteristics. • Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical leakage in old batteries. • Do not leave dead batteries in the remote control. Dead batteries leak chemicals. If you find any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a clean cloth. • The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions. • If you will not use the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries. Battery disposal When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public institution's rules that apply in your country/area. Cautions regarding the remote control unit • Do not expose the remote control to shock, liquid, or high humidity. • Do not place the remote control unit under direct sunlight, the unit may deform. • The remote control may not work properly if the panel's remote sensor window is under direct sunlight or strong room lighting. If the remote control fails to function in a bright environment, try changing the signal angle or move closer to the panel. • Objects placed between the remote control and the panel sensor may block the signal. • As the batteries become weak, the remote control may need to be used closer to the panel. Replace the batteries with new ones if necessary. • The Plasma Display emits very weak infrared rays from its screen. Other nearby equipment using an infrared remote control such as a VCR may receive scrambled or incomplete commands from its remote control. In this situation, move the equipment away from the Plasma Display. • Depending on the environment, infrared rays from the Plasma Display may corrupt signals sent by the remote control. These IR waves could also require that the remote control be used closer to the panel. The strength of infrared rays emitted from the screen differs, depending on the image being displayed. 22 En
