The Remote Control

Take out the remote control handset from the package. Open the battery compartment.

Insert two batteries (1,5 V, size AAA). Please make sure the polarity matches the marks

inside the compartment. Otherwise the r/c will not work and may be damaged. Replace the

cover.

Should the r/c start to work unreliably replace both batteries. We recommend using alcaline

batteries.

Please point the r/c towards the main unit when calling up functions. No obstacles may

stand in the way between r/c and infrared sensor. The green operation LED will flash when

the unit receives signals from the remote control.

If you won’t use the r/c for a week or longer, please remove the batteries from the

compartment, to prevent damage by leakage.

Batteries must not be disposed by ordinary refuse disposal. Please lead empty

batteries towards appropriate collecting points. Never throw batteries into fire.
