GETTING STARTED  
USING ThE REMOTE CONTROL  
BATTERY REPLACEMENT  
Point the remote control at the remote sensor  
located on the unit.  
When the batteries become weak, the operating  
distance of the remote control is greatly reduced  
and you will need to replace the batteries.  
When there is a strong ambient light source, the  
performance of the infrared remote sensor may  
be degraded, causing unreliable operation.  
The recommended effective distance for remote  
operation is about 16 feet (5 meters).  
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is  
incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same  
or equivalent type.  
TO INSTALL BATTERIES  
1. Open the battery door.  
NOTES  
If the remote control is not going to be used for a  
long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage  
caused by battery leakage corrosion.  
Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix  
ALKALINE, standard (CARBON-ZINC) or  
rechargeable (NICKEL-CADMIUM) batteries.  
Always remove batteries as soon as they  
become weak.  
Weak batteries can leak and severely damage  
the remote control.  
WARNING : Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.  
Batteries may explode or leak.  
2. Insert 2 “AAA” batteries.
