6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is

recommended by the manufacturer.

6A.An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive

force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as

recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with

its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar

surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a book case

or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,

stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in

Battery Replacement

When batteries become weak, the operating distance of the Remote Control is greatly reduced and you will

need to replace the batteries.

Notes:

• If the Remote Control is not going to be used for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage caused

by battery leakage corrosion.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix ALKALINE, standard (CARBON-ZINC) or rechargeable

(NICKEL-CADMIUM) batteries.

2.Insert two "AA" or UM-3 size batteries.

Using the Remote Control

• Point the Remote Control at the REMOTE SENSOR located on the Unit.

• When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared REMOTE SENSOR may be

degraded, causing unreliable operation.

• The recommended effective distance for remote operation is about 16 feet (5 meters).
