When to replace batteries
Under normal conditions, the batteries should last for about 6
months. When the remote no longer operates the receiver,
replace both batteries with new ones.
Notes
• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not expose the remote sensor of the receiver to direct
sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
• If you don’t use the remote for an extended period of time,
remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery
leakage and corrosion.
