4 REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

The DCD-SA1 can be controlled from a distance using the included remote control unit (RC-997).

(1) Inserting Batteries

① Remove the remote control unit's rear cover.

② Place 2 R03/AAA batteries in the battery compartment in the direction indicated by the marks.

③ Close the rear cover.

Cautions on Batteries

• Use R03/AAA batteries in this remote control unit.
• Replace the batteries with new ones approximately once a year, though this depends on the frequency with which the remote control unit is used.
• If the remote control unit does not operate from close to the main unit, replace the batteries with new ones, even if less than a year has passed.
• The included batteries are only for verifying operation. Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.
• When inserting the batteries, be careful to do so in the proper direction, following the and marks in the remote control unit's battery compartment.

• To prevent damage or battery fluid leakage:

• Do not use a new battery with an old one.

• Do not use two different types of batteries.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in flames.
• Remove the batteries when not planning to use the remote control unit for a long period of time.
• If the batteries should leak, carefully wipe off the fluid from the inside of the battery compartment, then insert new batteries.

(2) Using the Remote Control Unit

• When operating the remote control unit, point it at the remote control sensor as shown in the figure.
• The remote control unit can be used from a direct distance of approximately 8 meters. This distance will be shorter, however, if there are obstacles in the way or if the remote control unit is not pointed directly at the remote control sensor.
• The remote control unit can be operated at a horizontal angle of up to 30^ with respect to the remote control sensor.

NOTES:

• It may be difficult to operate the remote control unit if the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light.
• Do not press the buttons on the main unit and on the remote control unit at the same time. Doing so will result in malfunction.
