The next several pages provide instructions for using the remote control.

Follow the instructions that pertain to the appropriate model type you have.

REMOTE A

INSTALLING BATTERIES IN REMOTE TYPE A

The remote control is shipped with two

AAA batteries, packaged separately.

When you replace old batteries, you

should replace all of the batteries. Use

batteries of the same grade, for

example, alkaline or carbon zinc, and

do not mix batteries of different

grades. Alkaline batteries provide

longer battery life.

1. Press down on the slot in the battery

cover (on the back of the remote

control) and remove the cover.

2. Insert the new batteries, making

sure to match the plus (“+”) ends

with the plus markings on the

battery case.

Place only two batteries in the

remote. Place the batteries only in

the two center positions. Do not

remove the spacers that prevent

batteries from being placed in the

two outside positions.

3. Replace the battery cover by

inserting the tabs into the slots,

and snapping the cover into place.
