The symbol showing a wheelie bin with a cross through it which appears on the device indicates that at the
end of its useful life the product must be collected separately from other waste. Therefore, at the end of the
device’s life, you must take it to appropriate centres for the differentiated collection of electrical and
electronic waste, or return it to the retailer when purchasing a new device of equivalent type, on a one-for-
one basis. Suitable differentiated collection to allow subsequent recycling of the decommissioned device,
with environmentally-compatible treatment and disposal, help to prevent any negative effects on the
environment and health and to promote the recycling of the materials of which the device is made.

Thank you for choosing a Meliconi remote control.

The remote control requires 2 new 1.5V AA/LR06 alkaline batteries, not included in the
package. Insert with the correct polarity as shown in figure.
DO NOT use rechargeable batteries.
BATTERIES TEST: Press and hold the ON/OFF [ ] button and check that the indicator light
remains on continuously until the button is released. If the light is off or blinks, the inserted
