K. and Europe models) 1 Remote control sensor 3 2 Within approximately 7 m (23 feet) 30° 30° <CX-2> (U. S. A. , Canada and General models) 2 1 3 Notes q There should be no large obstacles between the remote control transmitter and the main unit. q If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc. ), it might cause the remote control transmitter not to work correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting. Battery replacement If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Notes q Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment. ) q Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not be used for an extended period of time. q If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries. 11 KEY FUNCTIONS The remote control transmitter provided with this unit is designed to control all the most commonly used functions of the unit.
