Remote control handset RK18
The remote control handset sends its commands to the TV set with the aid of infra-red light. For this reason, it must
always be pointed towards the TV set in order to operate correctly. Use of the remote control may possibly interfere
with other devices or systems which are controlled by infra-red signals (such as infra-red headphones).
The remote control handset may not operate correctly if the TV set is exposed to direct sunlight, because the TV set is
not able to detect the infra-red signals. The TV set must be switched on with its main switch before the remote control
handset can be used.
Infra-red light!
Do not point the remote control
handset at your eyes and press
any of the buttons on it!
