BATTERY INFORMATION AND REPLACEMENT

The Remote Control uses a 3 volt CR2032 lithium battery. To replace, slide off the 

battery at bottom side of the transmitter. Insert a new CR2032 lithium battery, 

making sure to match up the + and – polarity markings. Slide the cover back in. To 

test, press the ON or OFF buttons to make sure the LED lights up. Do not dispose of 

batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak.

WARNING:

DO NOT splice, repair or modify. Unplug when not in use. Fully insert plug. DO 

NOT use damaged remote sets. Inspect periodically. Use within the electrical 

rating marked on the remote set. DO NOT plug more than a total of 1875 watts into 

this remote ground stake. If watts are not marked on appliance, multiply ampere 

rating (on nameplate) by 125 to determine equivalent watts. Add determined watts 

for each plugged-in appliance or lamp (sum of watts on bulbs) to find total watts 

being used. Operating temperature range –30ºC (-22ºF) to 45ºC (113ºF). Suitable 

for damp locations. Not for water immersion or for use where directly exposed to 

water. Store indoors when not in use.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for 

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
•   Only use the batteries specified and be sure to match the + and - polarity 

markings.

•   Do not mix old batteries and new batteries or standard (carbon-zinc) with 

alkaline batteries. 

•   Remove exhausted or dead batteries from the product. 
•   Remove batteries if product is not to be used for a long time.
•   Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. As with all 

small items, these batteries should be kept away from children. If swallowed, 

seek medical attention immediately.
