Use AA, R6, UM-3 batteries.
Make sure that the polarities are correct. See the
illustration inside the battery compartment.
Remove the batteries
if
the remote control
is
not to be
used for an extended period
of
time.
Do not use old batteries together with new ones.
Do not use different types
of
batteries (such as alkaline
and manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging
carefully as these different types
of
batteries may have
the same shape and color.
If
the batteries have leaked, dispose
ofthem
immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or
letting it come into contact with clothing, etc. Clean the
battery compartment thoroughly before installing new
batteries.
Do not throwaway batteries with general house waste;
