When the batteries become too weak, the operating distance of the remote
controller is greatly reduced and you will need to replace the batteries.
NOTES:
• To maintain the accuracy and long life of the transmitter, do not press two or
more buttons simultaneously.
• If the remote control is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries to
prevent possible damage through leaking batteries.
• Do not mix different types of batteries, or old batteries with new ones.
USING THE REMOTE CONTROLLER CORRECTLY
• Point the remote controller at the Remote Sensor.
• The functions of the buttons on the remote control are the same as the
corresponding controls on the main unit.
• When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared
Remote Sensor may be degraded, causing unreliable operation.
• The maximum effective distance for remote control operation is about 15 feet.
