Important information about batteries
• Respect the polarities. Do not mix different types of batteries or new and old batteries. Do not
use rechargeable batteries. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, do not incinerate them
and do not recharge them. Do not try to open them as they may leak or explode. Remove the
batteries from the remote control unit if you are not going to use it for several weeks.
Immediately remove any leaking batteries. Take care in doing this, as leaking batteries may cause
burns to the skin or other physical injury.
• Please respect the environment and prevailing regulations! Before you dispose of
batteries ask your dealer whether they are subject to special recycling and if he
accepts to take them back.
