• Do not mix different battery types, i.e. Alkaline and 

Manganese.

• Do not use rechargeable (Ni-Cd) batteries.
• Do not heat or short-circuit the batteries.
• When you do not use the remote control for a long time, take 

out the batteries and store them in a cool, dry place.

and tapered cylinder design effectively protects heads from 
dust and prevents head clogging.
Plus, [Alumina] Head Cleaner further enhanced cleaning 
efficiency.
• Based on in-house tests with Panasonic video cassettes.
