Preparing the remote control unit
Inserting batteries
1
Open the battery cover.
2
Load the supplied two AA size batteries while inserting
their respective negative polarity (–) ends first.
Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and
(–) indicators in the battery compartment.
3
Close the battery cover.
Caution
Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or an
explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
• When you replace the batteries, use manganese or alkaline
ones.
• Place the batteries with their terminals corresponding to the
(+) and (–) indicators.
• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of
batteries have different characteristics.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries
can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical leakage
in old batteries.
• Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals
that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you find any
chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life
expectancy due to storage conditions.
• If you will not use the remote control unit for an extended
period of time, remove the batteries from it.
• WHEN DISPOSING OF USED BATTERIES, PLEASE COMPLY
WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS OR
ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC INSTITUTION'S RULES THAT
APPLY IN YOUR COUNTRY/AREA.
Operating range of the remote control unit
Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the remote
control sensor (
t
) located at the bottom right of the front panel of
the plasma display. The distance from the remote control sensor
must be within 7 m and the angle relative to the sensor must be
within 30 degrees in the right, left, upward, or downward direction.
Note
• With the PDP-427XG, the SR logo is located at the lower-right
on the speaker, but the location of the remote control sensor is
the same as with the PDP-507XG.
Caution
• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition, do
not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not place
in an area with high humidity.
• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct
sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote
control sensor of the plasma display is under direct sunlight or
strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of the lighting
or plasma display, or operate the remote control unit closer to
the remote control sensor.
• When any obstacle exists between the remote control unit and
the remote control sensor, the remote control unit may not
function.
• As the batteries become empty, the remote control unit can
function within a shorter distance from the remote control
sensor. Replace the batteries with new ones early enough.
• The plasma display emits very weak infrared rays from its
screen. If you place such equipment operated through infrared
remote control as a VCR nearby, that equipment may not
receive commands from its remote control unit properly or
entirely. If this is the case, place that equipment at a location
far enough from the plasma display.
• Depending on the installation environment, infrared rays from
the plasma display may not allow this system to properly
receive commands from the remote control unit or may
shorten allowable distances between the remote control unit
and the remote control sensor. The strength of infrared rays
emitted from the screen differs, depending on images
displayed on the screen.
