10.1 REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

The remote transmitter unit is powered by two
AA batteries. The display window on the remote
transmitter indicates the remaining battery life.
When batteries are new, the display indicates

the power decreases. When red indicator light

immediately, or discontinue the use of the remote
transmitter.
