INFRA-RED REMOTE CONTROL
Insert two 1,5V batteries, type R6 (RL6) micro. We recommend using alkaline batteries. Be careful to
correctly insert the batteries into the battery compartment (observe the drawing on the compartment
bottom). Check the batteries every now and then to prevent the leakage of worn out batteries.
In order to assure perfect functioning, the remote control handset should be always pointing toward the
TV set. The flashing of the red signal light indicates, that the TV set is receiving the infra-red signals.!
