INSTALLING THE REMOTE CONTROL'S BATTERIES
The remote control requires two AAA batteries (not included) for operation.
We recommend alkaline batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-555).
Install the batteries as shown in the battery compartment.
1. Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing the cover in the
direction of the arrow.
2. Place two fresh AAA batteries in the compartment observing the polarity
symbols (+ and -) marked in the compartment.

both batteries.
CAUTION: Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type. Always
remove old or weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that can
damage electronic circuits.
