Remote control preparation Battery installation ) Insert the batteries while observing the correct (o) and (p) polarities as illustrated at right. Service life of batteries ÁThe batteries normally last for about one year although this depends on how often and for what operations the remote control is used. ÁIf the remote control unit fails to work even when it is operated near the player, replace the batteries. ÁUse size "AA" (R6P) batteries. Notes: ÁDo not use rechargeable (Ni-Cd) batteries. ÁDo not attempt to recharge, short-circuit, disassem- ble, heat or throw the batteries into the fire. ÁDo not drop, step on or otherwise impact the remote control unit. This may damage the parts or lead to malfunction. ÁDo not mix old and new batteries. ÁIf the remote control unit is not going to be used for a long time, remove the batteries. Otherwise, electrolyte may leak which may lead not only to malfunctioning but also to burns if contact is made with the electrolyte. ÁWipe away any electrolyte leaking inside the remote control unit, and install new batteries. ÁIf any electrolyte should come into contact with parts of your body, wash it off thoroughly with water. Remote control operation range * Point the remote control unit no more than about 7 m from the remote control sensor and within about 60u of the front of the unit. ÁThe operating distance may vary according to the bright- ness of the room. Notes: ÁDo not point bright lights at the remote control sensor. ÁDo not place objects between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor. ÁDo not use this remote control unit while simultaneously op- erating the remote control unit of any other equipment. A 78 87 B Remote control signal sensor 7m 30˚ 30˚ 13
