GENERAL INFORMATION

Preparing your Remote Control

Carefully open the battery compartment lid on
the rear casing.

Insert both batteries taking care to fit them the
right way round (+ and –).

The two batteries supplied are Cadmium- and
Mercury-free (UM-4, AAA, IECR03, 1.5v).

Replace the cover of the battery compartement. 

CAUTION:
DO NOT

throw your batteries into a fire.

Dispose of your batteries in a designated
disposal area. 
DO NOT

mix an old battery with a  new one. 

DO NOT

mix battery types.

Effective Range for the Remote Control:

For optimum performance your Remote Control
will operate within a distance of 7 metres and
up to 30° from the central position.

If the Remote Control does not work check
whether the correct mode is set by pressing  the
VTR or TV button depending on the equipment
you want to operate. Make sure there is no
obstacle in the path of transmission and that
the batteries are in good working order.

The Remote Control handset is needed to operate your new Toshiba video recorder. If used correctly, it should give years of
trouble-free use. Please take good care of it, always observing the correct polarities when replacing the batteries.
