3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water - for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
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
the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
11. Grounding or Polarization - Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization means
of an appliance are not defeated.
12. Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be

at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the appliance.
13. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only
as recommended by the manufacturer.
14. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be
located away from power lines.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside
antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the

some protection against voltage surges and built
up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.
16. Nonuse Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left
unused for a long period of time.
17. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall, and liquids are not spilled,

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).
