Preparing the remote control unit
Inserting batteries
1
Open the battery cover.
2
Load the supplied two AA size batteries while inserting
their respective negative polarity (–) ends first.
• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to
the (+) and (–) indicators in the battery compartment.
3
Close the battery cover.
Cautions regarding batteries
Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or
explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
• When you replace the batteries, use manganese or alkaline
ones.
• Place the batteries with their terminals corresponding to the
(+) and (–) indicators.
• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of
batteries have different characteristics.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new
batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause
chemical leakage in old batteries.
• Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals
that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you find any
chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter
life expectancy due to storage conditions.
• If you will not use the remote control unit for an
extendedperiod of time, remove the batteries from it.
WARNING
• Do not use or store betteries in direct sunlight or
other excessively hot place, such as inside a car or
near a heater. This can cause batteries to leak,
overheat, explode or catch fire. It can also reduce
the life or performance of batteries.
CAUTION
• WHEN DISPOSING OF USED BATTERIES, PLEASE
COMPLY WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS OR
ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC INSTRUCTION’S RULES
THAT APPLY IN YOUR COUNTRY/AREA.
Allowed operation range of the remote control
unit
Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the
remote control sensor (
) located at the bottom right of the
front panel of the Plasma Display. The distance from the
remote control sensor must be within 7 m and the angle
relative to the sensor must be within 30 degrees in the right,
left, upward, or downward direction.
Cautions regarding the remote control unit
• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition,
do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not
place in an area with high humidity.
• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct
sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote
control sensor of the Plasma Display is under direct sunlight
or strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of the
lighting or Plasma Display, or operate the remote control
unit closer to the remote control sensor.
• When any obstacle exists between the remote control unit
and the remote control sensor, the remote control unit may
not function.
• As the batteries become empty, the remote control unit can
function within a shorter distance from the remote control
sensor. Replace the batteries with new ones early enough.
• The Plasma Display emits very weak infrared rays from its
screen. If you place such equipment operated through
infrared remote control as a VCR nearby, that equipment
may not receive commands from its remote control unit
properly or entirely. If this is the case, place that equipment
at a location far enough from the Plasma Display.
• Depending on the installation surroundings, this unit’s
remote control unit may be influenced by the infrared rays
discharged from the Plasma Display, hampering reception
of its rays or limiting its operational distance. The strength of
infrared rays discharged from the screen will differ
according to the picture displayed.
