When does the battery
have to be changed?
The battery in the remote control
is due to be changed after ap-
proximately 2 - 3 years. You can
tell that the battery is weak if the
LED does not light up or lights
up only briefly when a button is
pressed.
Changing battery
Remove screw 4 and remove
bottom part of housing 5 .
Slide old battery 8 forward
from under retainer 6 .
Using a battery of the
wrong type or inserting the
battery with the polarity reversed
can cause irreparable damage to
the device.
Use only the specified type of
battery (see "Technical Data").
When inserting the battery,
always make sure polarity is
correct.
Slip the new battery into posi-
tion, making sure that the pos-
itive terminal of the battery is
facing up.
Position the bottom part of the
housing at projection
9 of the
front edge and close the hous-
ing, noting two guide pins
7 .
Install screw 4 .
The LED on the remote con-
trol lights up, indicating that the
remote control has to be syn-
chronised.
To synchronise the remote
control, make sure that it is
within range of the receiver and
press button
1 twice.
LED 3 starts flashing and then
goes out after a few seconds.
The remote control is again
ready for use.
