Installing the Remote Control's Batteries You need two AA batteries to power the remote control. For the longest battery life, we recommend alkaline batteries (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 230-0552). To ensure consistent operation, change the batteries about once a year. 1. Remove the battery compartment cover by sliding it in the direction of the arrow. 2. Install two AA batteries, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside the compartment. CAUTION: Incorrectly installed batteries might leak and damage the remote control. Do not mix old batteries with new ones, and do not mix different types of batteries (for example, standard and alkaline). 3. Replace the cover. (CS 3/12/96)
