Getting Started

Installing the

Batteries

Slide open the battery

compartment lid and insert two

size AA (R6) batteries (not

supplied). Be sure to match up the

+ and – indications on the

batteries with the + and –

indications on the battery

compartment.

When to replace the

batteries

Batteries for remote control

operation (two size AA (R6)

batteries)

Under normal conditions, the

batteries will last up to six

months. If the Commander does

not operate properly, the batteries

might be drained. When this

happens, replace the batteries with

new ones.

Note

Do not take more than one hour to

replace the batteries. Otherwise, your

setting of the code numbers (page 8)

and “learned” remote control signals

(page 14) will be erased.

Notes on batteries

• Do not use an old battery with a new

one or mix different types of batteries

together.

• If the electrolyte inside the battery

should leak, wipe the contaminated

area of the battery compartment with

a cloth and replace the old batteries

with new ones. To prevent the

electrolyte from leaking, remove the

batteries when you plan not to use

the Commander for a long period of

time.

Insert the batteries negative-and-

first through the guide clamp

within each compartment as

shown above.
