Changing the Remote’s Battery
Someday, the AAA battery in the remote will need to
be replaced. This is how to do it.
The back of the remote control is held in place by
magnets. To remove the back of the remote to reveal
the battery, slide the front of the remote up while sliding
the back of the remote down. The goal is to move the
back 3/16 of an inch from the top of the remote and
then lift it off. There are many ways do to this, as far as
positioning your fingers. To open the remote:
•
Hold the remote upsidedown and backwards with
McIntosh name upsidedown and facing away
from you. The thicker end will now be the top and
you should be staring at the back of the remote.
•
Pinch the remote with your index finger resting on
the SELECT/TRIM button and your thumb on the
backside (facing you) opposite your index finger’s
position. Your thumb and remote should both be
pointing away from you (
see Figure 13
).
•
Use your thumb to slide the back open 3/16 of an
inch. Slide your thumb away from you towards
the thicker end of the remote, while your index
finger goes in the opposite direction (towards
you). As if snapping your fingers in slow motion.
For added strength, you can use your other hand
in a similar position above your first hand using
the same technique. Make sure you do not hold
the side edge with either hand.
•
Lift the back off with your other hand before it
snaps closed again. You can grab the now exposed
top edge.
•
It gets easier after the first time.
Remove and replace the battery noting the polarity
(printed below the battery if you forget).
To replace the back: Place the back in position 3/16 of
an inch from the edge. The magnets will help you snap
it back into place.
