connections; otherwise a minimum leakage current might flow through the antenna

and other terminals to ground.

•To avoid battery leakage and damage to the remote, remove the batteries from the

remote if you are not going to use it for several days. If any liquid leaks from the

batteries and touches your skin, immediately wash it away with water.
