BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the batteries become weak, the operating distance of the remote control will be 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
