the remote control.
• Do not recharge or disassemble the batteries.
• Dispose of the batteries in a place where there is no danger of fire.
• Stop using the remote control if there is a fluid leak in the battery. If
your clothes or skin is exposed to the leaking battery fluid, wash off
with clean water.
• If the leaking battery fluid has been swallowed, rinse the inside of the
mouth thoroughly and consult a doctor.
• Never let the indoor unit or the remote control get wet.
