Inserting the Batteries

NOTE

• Replace  the  batteries  with  new  ones  if  the  set  does  not  operate 

even when the remote control unit is operated close to the unit.

• The supplied batteries are only for verifying operation.
• When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the proper direction, 

following the “

q

” and “

w

” marks in the battery compartment.

• To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid:

• Do not use a new battery together with an old one.
• Do not use two different types of batteries.
• Do not attempt to charge dry batteries.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in 

flames.

• If the battery fluid should leak, carefully wipe the fluid off the inside 

of the battery compartment and insert new batteries.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control unit if it will not be in 

use for long periods. 

• When  replacing  the  batteries,  have  the  new  batteries  ready  and 

insert them as quickly as possible.

Operating Range of the Remote Control 

Unit

Point the remote control unit at the remote sensor when operating it.

NOTE

The set may function improperly or the remote control unit may not 
operate  if  the  remote  control  sensor  is  exposed  to  direct  sunlight, 
strong artificial light from an inverter type fluorescent lamp or infrared 
light.

About the Remote Control Unit

Getting Started

q

  Lift the clasp and remove the rear cover.

e

  Put the rear cover back on.

R6/AA

w

  Load the two batteries properly as indicated 

by the marks in the battery compartment.

• Before turning the power switch on

  Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are 

no problems with the connection cables. 

• 

Power  is  supplied  to  some  of  the  circuitry  even  when  the  unit  is 
set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long 
periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power 
outlet.

• About condensation

  If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of 

the  unit  and  the  surroundings,  condensation  (dew)  may  form  on 
the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate 
properly.

  If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power 

turned  off  and  wait  until  there  is  little  difference  in  temperature 
before using the unit.

• Cautions on using mobile phones

  Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move 

the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.

• Moving the unit

  Turn  off  the  power  and  unplug  the  power  cord  from  the  power 

outlet.

  Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units before 

moving the unit.

• 

Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the 
actual unit for explanation purposes.

Note:
For  proper  heat  dispersal,  do  not  install  this  unit  in  a  confined 
space, such as a bookcase or similar enclosure.
