Installing the Batteries
■ Slide open the battery compartment and insert two size AA
batteries (not suppli^).
Be sure to line up the + and - on the batteries with the + and
Notes on Batteries
■ Under normal conditions, batteries will last up to six
months. If the Remote Commander does not operate
properly, the batteries might be worn out. When replacing
batteries, replace both of them with new ones.
■ Do not mix old batteries with new ones or mix different
types of batteries together.
■ Whenever you remove the batteries — to replace them, for
example — the code numbers you've set are automatically
erased and must be reset.
■ If the electrolyte inside the battery should leak, wipe the
contaminated area of the battery compartment with a cloth
and replace the old batteries with new ones. To prevent the
electrolyte from leaking, remove the batteries when you
plan to not use the Commander for a long period of time.
