controller is not to be used for a long time.
• Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from
corrosion. If the remote controller does not operate smoothly,
replace both batteries at the same time.
• The life of the supplied batteries is about six months but this
varies depending on usage.

Notes
• Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or
inverted fluorescent light which can prevent proper operation
of the remote controller.
• Using another remote controller of the same type in the same
room or using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays
may cause operational interference.
• Do not put any object (such as a book) on the remote controller.
The buttons of the remote controller may be pressed by mistake
and drain the batteries.
• Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass.
Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote
controller operation.
• If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the
remote control sensor, the remote controller will not operate.
