SETTING UP

Your new television’s remote control

Remove the back cover to reveal the battery compartment and make sure you insert the batteries the
right way round.

Suitable battery types for this remote are R03 or AAA.

Do not throw your old batteries into a fire, dispose of them in a designated disposal area. Do not
combine a used, old battery with a new one or mix battery types.

The performance of the remote control will deteriorate beyond a distance of five metres or outside an
angle of 30 degrees from the centre of the TV.

The batteries... and the effective range of the remote…
