Replacing the Batteries
The remote control uses two AA alkaline batteries. Follow these steps
when you need to replace them:
1. Press in the tab to remove the battery cover.
2. Remove the old batteries, then insert the new ones as shown.
3. Replace the battery cover. (It should click into place.)
caution
When replacing batteries,
take the following
precautions:
Replace the batteries as
soon as they run out. If a
battery leaks, wipe away
battery uid with a soft
cloth. If uid gets on your
hands, wash them
immediately.
Do not expose batteries to
heat or ame.
Dispose of used batteries
according to local
regulations.
Remove the batteries if
you won’t be using the
remote control for a long
period of time.
note
The remote control
automatically shuts o when
it detects a button being
pressed more than
30 seconds. This conserves
battery life. It can be
helpful, for example, when
the remote is in a carrying
case and the PPower
button is accidentally
pushed.
