Notes on batteries

• Change all of the batteries if you notice the following 

conditions; the operation range of the remote control decreases, 

the indicator does not flash or its light becomes dim.

• Use AAA, R03, UM-4 batteries.

• Make sure that the polarities are correct. See the illustration 

inside the battery compartment.

• Remove the batteries if the remote control is not used for an 

extended period of time.

• Do not use old batteries together with new ones.

• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and 

manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging carefully as 

these different types of batteries may have the same shape and 

color.

• We strongly recommend using alkaline batteries.

• If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid 

touching the leaked material or letting it come into contact with 

clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before 

installing new batteries.

• Do not throw away batteries with general house waste; dispose 

of them correctly in accordance with your local regulations.

The remote control transmits a directional infrared beam.

Be sure to aim the remote control directly at the remote 

control sensor on the front panel of this unit during 

operation.

■

Handling the remote control

• The area between the remote control and this unit must

• Do not spill water or other liquids on the remote 

control.

• Do not drop the remote control.

• Do not leave or store the remote control in the 

following types of conditions:

– places of high humidity, such as near a bath

– places of high temperature, such as near a heater or 

a stove

– places of extremely low temperatures

– dusty places

• Do not expose the remote control sensor to strong 

lighting, in particular, an inverter type fluorescent 

lamp; otherwise, the remote control may not work 

properly. If necessary, position this unit away from 

direct lighting.
