Using the remote control
• The remote control has a range of up to 6 metres from the soundbar. Point the
remote control directly towards the sensor at the front of the soundbar.
• Make sure no obstacles are blocking its path. The remote control will not operate
if its path is blocked.
• Handle the remote control with care. Do not drop, apply shock or step on the
remote control. Do not spill water on the unit.
• Do not use the remote control while simultaneously operating a remote control
unit of any another unit, which may result in interference.
• If the remote control is operated near other products which generate infra-red
rays, or if other remote control devices using infra-red rays are used near the unit,
it may operate incorrectly. Conversely, the other products may operate incorrectly.
• If you do not intend to use the remote control for an extended period of time
(more than a month), remove the battery to prevent possible damage from battery
leakage and corrosion.
Battery precautions
• Do not use any other battery than specified.
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type.
• Do not carry or store batteries with other metallic objects. Doing so could cause
batteries to short-circuit, leak or explode.
• Do not expose the battery to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
• Do not attempt to short-circuit, disassemble or throw batteries into a fire.
• Never recharge a battery unless it is confirmed to be a rechargeable type.
• Dispose of batteries promptly and properly, observing any local hazardous waste
regulations. Do not burn or bury them.
