REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY CARE
To ensure long life from your Remote Control Unit:-
1. Check that the polarity indicators of batteries and the remote control
terminals correspond.
2. Do not mix new and old or different types of batteries together.
3. Never leave old or exhausted batteries in the remote control.
4. If storing your receiver for an extended period, remove the RCU batteries.
5. Only rechargeable cells (NiMh etc) should be recharged, and on a
purpose built charger.
6. Do not attempt to disassemble or short circuit the batteries.
7. Do not expose the batteries to heat sources.
8. In the event of electrolyte fluid does leak from a battery inside the remote
control, wipe away with a damp cloth and insert new batteries.
9. Damage caused by leaking batteries is not covered by warranty.
PREPARING THE REMOTE CONTROL FOR USE
Load fresh batteries for your remote control unit to operate reliably.
1. Open the battery compartment lid on the back of the RCU.
2. Insert the batteries, negative terminals first. Take care that the battery
polarity markings correspond with those of the remote control.
3. Close the battery compartment lid, checking that it locks in place.
4. Your RCU should now be ready for use.
REMOTE CONTROL OPERATING DISTANCE & ANGLE
With an uninterrupted view of your receivers
Front panel IR window, point the RCU towards
your receiver and press any key.
1. Distance: The remote control should work up to
7 meters from the front of your receiver…
2. Angle: and about + or – 30 degrees from directly
facing the receiver (see drawing).
USEFUL REMOTE CONTROL TIPS
1. For prolonged receiver life, intervals of continuous switching action
should be kept to less than one minute.
2. Should receiver stop responding to RCU commands or freeze up,
disconnect the batteries and or power for 10 seconds and restart.
3. Daylight and some electric light can compromise the distance over which
a RCU is effective. You can solve this by re-adjusting receiver position
and room lighting as necessary.
