CAUTION  
If the remote control is not used for a long period, remove the  
batteries and store them properly.  
Handle damaged or leaking batteries carefully, and wash hands with  
soap if they come in contact with leaked chemical fluids.  
If your remote control has two batteries, do not mix new and old  
batteries, or the life of the new batteries will be shortened. Chemical  
fluids may leak from the old batteries.  
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only  
with the same or equivalent type recommended by the equipment  
manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer’s  
instructions.  
Refer to your local recycling or waste disposal rules and contact a  
local waste disposal vendor to dispose of used batteries.  
The remote control cover may have a magnet in it, so do not place  
magnetic sensitive items such as watches, credit cards, or flash  
media close to the cover.  
Do not use force when pulling the remote control cover open; you  
may damage the hinge.  
Note:  
For best results, use the remote control within a proper distance from the  
front of the TV. Do not exceed an angle of 30 degrees when pointing at TV.  
The operational distance may be shortened when the signal sensor is  
directly exposed to strong light.  
Aim the transmitter on the remote control at the signal sensor and ensure  
that there are no obstacles between them.
