Battery installation

Precautions for battery use:

!

Replace all old batteries with new ones at the same time.

!

Do not mix old and new batteries.

!

Remove the batteries if the system will not be used for long periods of time. This
will prevent potential damage due to battery leakage.

Caution:

!

Do not use rechargeable batteries (nickel-cadmium battery, etc.).

!

Installing the batteries incorrectly may cause the system to malfunction.

Notes concerning use:

!

Replace the batteries if the operating distance is reduced or if the operation
becomes erratic. Purchase 2 "AAA" size batteries (UM-4, R03, HP-16 or similar).

!

Periodically clean the transmitter on the remote control and the sensor on the unit
with a soft cloth.

!

Exposing the sensor on the AV control unit to strong light may interfere with oper-
ation. Change the lighting or the direction of the AV control unit.

!

Keep the remote control away from moisture, heat, shock, and vibrations.

"

Test of the remote control

Check the remote control after checking all connections have been made correctly.
(See pages 11 - 18.)
Point the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the AV control unit.
