◆Inserting the batteries into the remote control
1. Remove the rear lid of the remote control.
2. Check the polarity markings (+, –) of the batteries, and set 
them correctly, inserting their (–) side first.
 If the battery is inserted from the  (+) side first, inserting the (–) 
side becomes difficult because  the coil spring end hits on the 
battery side. If the battery is forced to insert in this way, the 
outer label of the battery ma y get ripped and cause a short-
circuit and heating.
3. Attach the rear lid.
Important
 Use two size-AAA batteries (R03).
 Replace the two batteries with new ones when the remote  control is slow to operate.
Caution
 Using the wrong type of battery may cause an explosion.
 Only Carbon-Zinc or Alkaline-Manganese Dioxide type batteries should be used.
 Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.
 Batteries may explode if misused. Do not re charge, disassemble, or dispose of in fire.
 Be sure to handle the battery according to the instructions.
 Load the battery with its positive (+) and negative ( –) sides correctly oriented as indicated on the remote control.
 Keep batteries out of reach of children and pets.
 Remove the batteries, if the remote control is not used for a long time.
 Do not combine a new battery with an old one.
 If the solution of batteries comes in contact with your skin or  clothes, rinse with water. If the solution comes in contact with 
your eyes, rinse them with water and then consult your doctor.
