(NICKEL-CADMIUM) batteries.
• Always remove batteries as soon as they become weak.
• Weak batteries can leak and severely damage the remote control.
• WARNING: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode or leak.
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same
or equivalent type.
