Battery Installation
Open the battery lid behind the remote control and insert the two AAA batteries (included). Be sure to observe
correct polarity (+/-) when placing the batteries into the compartment.
Note: Never mix old and new batteries as this may result in leakage or cracking, possibly causing injuries to users.
Caution: A risk of explosion can result if batteries are replaced with an incorrect type. Always dispose of used
batteries in accordance with local regulations.
