Cleaning the Beo4…
Wipe the Beo4 remote control with a soft, lint-free, wet cloth which is
wrung rmly.
Changing the batteries
When BATTERY appears in the Beo4 display, it is time to change the
batteries in the remote control.
The Beo4 requires three batteries (placed under the lid on the back).
We recommend that you use 1.5 volt (size AAA) Alkaline batteries only.
Replace the batteries as shown in the illustration.
When you have replaced the batteries, you must wait for about 10
seconds until the display reads TV. The Beo4 remote control is then
ready to operate again.
Note: We recommend that you keep a nger on top of the batteries until the
lid is in place.
