Handling the Remote Controller
To install or replace batteries, slide the back cover downward, insert two R03/LR03 dry batteries matching the (+) and (-) symbols, and slide the cover back into place. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types. Remove batteries if the remote will not be used for more than 2 months.
Basic Operation
