PREPARATION

REMOTE CONTROL

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

1 Turn the remote control over and slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow.

2 Insert the batteries (AA, R06, UM-3 type) according the polarity markings on the inside of the battery compartment.

3 Close the battery compartment cover.

Battery Replacement If the remote control operates only when it is close to the unit, the batteries are weak. Replace all the batteries with new ones.

Notes Use only AA, R06 or UM-3 batteries for replacement. Be sure the battery polarity is correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.) Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time. If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come into contact with

clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

Using the Remote Control The remote control transmits a directional infrared beam. Be sure to aim the remote control directly at the infrared sensor during operation. When the sensor is covered or there is a large object between the remote control and the sensor, the sensor cannot receive signals. The sensor may not be able to receive signals properly when it is exposed to direct sunlight or a strong artificial light (such as a fluorescent or strobe light). In this case, change the direction of the light or reposition the unit to avoid direct lighting.

Notes Handle the remote control with care. Do not spill water, tea or other liquids on the remote control. Do not drop the remote control. Do not leave or store the remote control in the following

conditions: high humidity or temperature such as near a heater, stove or

bath; dusty places; or extremely low temperature.
