REMOTE CONTROL
Open the battery compart-
ment cover in the direction
of the arrow.
Install two “AAA/R03/UM-4”
(penlight size) batteries,
paying attention to the
polarity diagram in the
battery compartment.
Replace the cover.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
•Use two "AAA/R03/UM-4" size penlight batteries for the remote control transmitter.
•The batteries may last approximately one year depending on how much the remote control is used. For best
performance it is recommended batteries be replaced on a yearly basis, or when remote operation becomes
erratic.
•Do not mix old and new batteries.
•Weak batteries can leak and severely damage the remote control transmitter. Always remove batteries as
soon as they become weak.
BATTERY CAUTIONS
NOTES:•When direct sunlight, an incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp or any other strong light shines on the
remote sensor, the remote operation may be unstable.
•When there is an obstacle between the unit and the transmitter, the remote control transmitter may not
operate.

The type of aerial required depends on the position of your home, its distance from the transmitter and local
interference. If you do not have an aerial and you are uncertain of what to buy, you should seek the advice of a local
aerial contractor.
