BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
These precautions should be followed when using batteries in this device:
• The batteries may last approximately one year depending on how much the remote control
is used. Replace batteries when the remote operation becomes erratic.
• Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
• Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as indicated in the
battery compartment. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.
• Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline, Carbon-zinc or
Rechargeable) or old batteries with fresh ones.
• If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent
damage or injury from possible battery leakage.
• Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and
rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer’s directions.)
• Please use caution when inserting batteries to avoid battery damage. If the spring
terminal in the remote control remains in contact with a side of a damaged battery it can
cause a short circuit. Never use damaged batteries as they can become very hot and are
dangerous.
• Never expose batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire or the like.
