Overview of Remote Control
Store the Remote Control
Avoid misplacing the remote control by safely storing it on the back
of the DPF when not in use.
The back of the remote control has a built-in magnet and the back of
the DPF has a ‘magnetic area’ so you can simply attach the remote
control to the back of the DPF for safe keeping.
