PREPARATION
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your remote control requires two AAA batteries (not
supplied) for power. For the best performance and
longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline
batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different
types of batteries.
• Do not press any of the remote control’s keys
while installing batteries.
Note: The remote control’s built-in memory backup
saves any programmed codes for about 10 minutes
after the batteries have been removed. We recom-
mend you have fresh batteries ready to install as
soon as you remove the old ones.
1. Press the battery compartment cover’s tab and
lift off the cover.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indi-
cated by the polarity symbols (+ and
–
) marked
inside.
3. Replace the cover.
When the remote control’s range decreases or it
stops operating properly, replace the batteries.
Caution: Always remove old or weak batteries. Bat-
teries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic
parts.
