Installing the Batteries in the Remote 
Control
Keep in mind the following when using the remote 
control:
•  Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote 
control and the infrared sensor window on the unit.
•  Remote operation may become unreliable if strong 
sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the infrared 
sensor window of the unit.
•  Remote control for different devices can interfere with 
each other. Avoid using remote control for other device 
located close to the unit.
•  Replace the batteries when you notice a fall off in the 
operating range of the remote control.
•  The maximum operable ranges from the unit are as 
follows.
 - Line of sight: approx. 23 feet (7m)
 - Either side of the center: 
  approx. 23 feet (7m) within 30°
Install the batteries (AAx2) matching the polarity 
indicated inside battery compartment of the remote 
control.
Caution:
Never throw batteries into a fire.
Note:
•  Be sure to use AA size batteries.
•  Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.
•  Batteries should always be disposed of with the 
environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in 
accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
•  If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if 
the operating range becomes reduced, replace 
batteries with new ones.  
•  When necessary to replace batteries in the remote 
control, always replace both batteries with new ones. 
Never mix battery types or use new and used 
batteries in combination.
•  Always remove batteries from remote control if they 
are dead or if the remote control is not to be used for 
an extended period of time. This will prevent battery 
acid from leaking into the battery compartment.
