Setting up

 

Care of the K6

 
 

Always disconnect the unit from the mains supply before
cleaning  it.  The  surfaces  of  the  case  should  be  wiped
clean  with  a  soft,  dry  cloth  only.  Never  use  abrasive  or
solvent-based  cleaners!  Before  switching  the  unit  on

again  check  carefully  that  no  short-circuits  exist  at  the
terminals,  and  that  you  have  not  disturbed  any  connec-
tions.

Switching the remote control address

Switching the K6

If  the 

K6

  responds  to  the  remote  control  commands  in-

tended  for  another  piece  of  equipment  (TV  or  video  re-
corder),it can be switched to an alternative remote control
address. This is the procedure:

Switch  the 

K6

  off,  and  then  on  again.  Immediately  after

switching  on,  press  the 

left-hand  select  button

  under

the  machine’s  front  panel,  and  hold  it  pressed  in  until  a
running script appears on the integral screen.

   

Select
button

Change

buttons

Release  the  switch,  and  hold  the 

left  select  button

pressed in again until the K6 switches to the next remote
control  address.  The  message  on  the  integral  screen
('

RC-ADR 1'

  or  '

RC-ADR 2'

)  tells  you  the  address

(

RC-ADR

) to which the K6 has now switched.

Switching the remote control address

Now you must set up the address of the 

F6

 RC handset

to match the 

K6

:

Hold  the 

  button  and  the  numeric  button 

pressed  in  simultaneously.  After  about  10  seconds  the
LED will flash. Now press the numeric  button 

  or

.

 

Pressing  the  numeric  button 

  sets  the  remote

control 

system 

to 

the 

standard 

RC 

address

( 

RC-ADR 1

 ),  whereas  button 

  sets  the  alterna-

tive address (

 RC-ADR 2 

). The LED goes out to confirm

that you have switched the setting..

 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Changing the batteries

 

To  open  the
battery  com-
partment
disconnect
the  latch  by
pressing  in,
then  lift  the
cover out.

 

Remove  the
old cells and fit three new dry cells of the 

LR 03 (MICRO)

type  in  the  battery  compartment,  taking  care  to  fit  them
with correct polarity. Please remember that 

all  the  cells

must be replaced

 at the same time.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Note

 

If  you  have  already  re-set  the  remote  control  system  to
Address  2  (see  above),  you  will  need  to  repeat  the
change procedure after fitting new batteries.

 

Disposing of exhausted batteries

Exhausted  batteries  must  never  be  thrown  into  the
household waste! They should be returned to the battery
vendor  (specialist  dealer)  or  your  local  toxic  waste
collection point, so that they can be recycled or disposed
in a proper way. Most local authorities provide collection
centres  for  such  waste,  and  some  provide  pick-up
vehicles for old batteries.
