M3 REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET (FIGURE 3)
The Remote Control handset handles all the key functions of the M3 and has additional
controls to remotely operate both NAD DVD and CD machines (see CD/DVD Switch below).
It will operate up to a distance of 16ft (5m). Alkaline batteries are recommended for maximum
operating life. Two AA (R6) batteries should be fitted in the battery compartment at the back
of the Remote Control handset. When replacing batteries, check that they have been put in
the right way round, as indicated on the base of the battery compartment.
