Remote control batteries
The remote control requires two AAA (RO3)
batteries (not included). We recommend that you
replace the batteries on a yearly basis or when
the operation of the remote control becomes
intermittent or unsatisfactory. Replace the
original batteries with new AAA batteries. Do not
mix old and new batteries or different types of
batteries.
To replace the batteries:
1 Press the lock tab of the battery holder and
open the battery compartment.
2 Place two AAA batteries in the battery holder,
matching the + and – in the battery
compartment.
3 Close the battery holder.
• Use only the size and type of batteries
specified.
• Make sure that you follow the correct polarity
as indicated in the battery compartment.
Reversed batteries may damage the device.
• Do not mix different types of batteries together
(for example, Alkaline and Carbon-Zinc) or old
batteries with new ones.
• If the remote is not to be used for a long period
of time, remove the batteries to prevent
damage or injury from possible battery
leakage.
• Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to
be recharged. They can overheat and rupture.
