Preparations

Checking the Accessories

The following accessories are included with the Monitor. Check for them. If any item is missing, please contact the dealer where
you purchased the Monitor.

• Remote control (RM-C576) x 1
• Power cord x 2 (Use the one matching the wall outlet.)
• Batteries (AA/R6P) x 2

Installing the Batteries

Put the batteries in the remote control as follows. If the remote control has become erratic in operation, change the batteries.

1

Remove the back cover.

While pushing the release lever on the cover, remove the cover in
the direction of the arrow.

2

Place the batteries.

Put the two supplied batteries (AA/R6P), noting the 

ª

 and 

·

markings, as shown.

3

Replace the back cover as illustrated.

Make sure the release lever on the cover is locked in place correctly.

Precautions for using batteries

If batteries are used improperly, the liquid could leak out, causing a fire, injury, etc. or dirtying the vicinity.
Take notice of the following:
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix different types of battery as different types may have different characteristics.
• Place the batteries according to the 

ª

 and 

·

 markings indicated on the battery compartment.

• When installing the batteries, insert the 

·

 end first to avoid a short circuit.

• Use only the specified batteries.
• When you are not using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.
• When the batteries have reached the end of their life, replace them with new ones immediately. Otherwise, the liquid may leak

out, or malfunction may be caused by the leaked liquid. If the leaked liquid contacts your skin, wipe off the liquid with a soft
cloth. If the affected skin is left as is, you may get a rough skin.

• Do not throw the batteries into fire or try recharging them.
• The service life of batteries is six months to one year for normal use. The supplied batteries are only for checking the operation

and their life may be shorter. When the remote control operation becomes erratic, replace with new batteries.

The instruction below applies only to
the use in Holland.
