CAUTION: Replace batteries with the correct battery type. Use AAA size batteries for the basic RCU
and AA size batteries for the Pulse RCU. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an
incorrect type. Use alkaline batteries for optimum range and life time.
Make sure the polarities match the + and - marks, as depicted on the inside of the battery
compartment. There is a risk of explosion if the batteries are installed incorrectly.
Replacing batteries will reset the broadcast address of the Pulse RCU to its default alue ’0’.
Replacing batteries of the Pulse RCU switches on the Pusle RCU automatically.
In order to make sure you can control your projector remotely, Barco has pro ided a basic remote
control unit in case the Pulse RCU is not a ailable to you. While the basic remote control has a more
limited amount of a ailable features, it will be able to help you out with basic controls.
