Preparing the remote control unit
Inserting batteries
1
Open the battery cover.
2 Insert the supplied two AA size batteries.
Allowed operation range of the remote con-
trol unit
Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the
remote control sensor (
t ) located at the bottom right of the
front panel of the Plasma Display. The distance from the
remote control sensor must be within 7 m and the angle
relative to the sensor must be within 30 degrees in the right,
left, upward, or downward direction.

• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to
the (+) and (–) indicators in the battery compartment.
3 Close the battery cover.
Cautions regarding batteries
Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or
explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
• Do not use alkaline batteries. When you replace the
batteries, use manganese ones.
• Place the batteries with their terminals corresponding to
the (+) and (–) indicators.
• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of
batteries have different characteristics.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new
batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause
chemical leakage in old batteries.
• Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals
that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you find any
chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter
life expectancy due to storage conditions.
• If you will not use the remote control unit for an extended
period of time, remove the batteries from it.
• WHEN DISPOSING OF USED BATTERIES, PLEASE
COMPLY WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS OR
ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC INSTRUCTION’S RULES
THAT APPLY IN YOUR COUNTRY/AREA.
Cautions regarding the remote control unit
• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition,
do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not
place in an area with high humidity.
• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct
sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote
control sensor of the Plasma Display is under direct
sunlight or strong lighting. In such case, change the angle
of the lighting or Plasma Display set, or operate the remote
control unit closer to the remote control sensor.
• When any obstacle exists between the remote control unit
and the remote control sensor, the remote control unit may
not function.
• As the batteries become empty, the remote control unit can
function within a shorter distance from the remote control
sensor. Replace the batteries with new ones early enough.
• The Plasma Display emits very weak infrared rays from its
screen. If you place such equipment operated through
infrared remote control as a VCR nearby, that equipment
may not receive commands from its remote control unit
properly or entirely. If this is the case, place that equipment
at a location far enough from the Plasma Display.
• Depending on the installation environment, infrared rays
from the Plasma Display may not allow this system to
properly receive commands from the remote control unit or
may shorten allowable distances between the remote
control unit and the remote control sensor. The strength of
infrared rays emitted from the screen differs, depending on
images displayed on the screen.
