NOTES ON INSTALLATION LOCATION
- Before installation, check the material and construction compatibilities of the installation location. If they are not assured, the unit may fall, which may result in personal injury.
- NEVER mount the unit in a location subject to lot of vibration, shock, or strong force. Doing so may cause a fall or damage of the unit and may result in personal injury.
- Before installation, make sure that there is no electrical wiring nor piping inside the wall.
PRECAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION
- NEVER modify the unit or use it in an inappropriate way. Dropping the unit may result in personal injury.
- The supplied wall-mounting screws are for wooden walls. If the unit is to be mounted on a wall other than wooden walls, procure commercially available screws suitable for the structure and materials of the wall.
- Secure the screws tightly when mounting the base unit. Loose screws may cause an accident, such as falling of the unit. NEVER leave the screws not securely tightened.
- NEVER mount the unit so that it will protrude away from an exterior corner of the wall. Doing so may lead to personal injury, because a person or object may bump into the unit.
- Marantz accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any accident or damage resulting from improper mounting or handling.
- When mounting, be careful not to pinch your fingers or hands.
- Make sure that the two screws are securely tightened in the holes for wall mounting of the extender.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES FOR THE BASE UNIT
- Remove the handset from the base unit.
- Push the stopper holder from through the hole on the bottom of the base unit.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the battery of the remote controller is exhausted, the operable distance of the remote controller becomes extremely short. In such a case, replace the battery with a new one.
- Pull out the battery case, referring to the figures depicted on the rear panel of the remote controller.
- Pull out the old lithium battery from the battery case and insert a new one. Place the battery so that the + (positive) side faces upward.
- Replace the battery case in its original position.

text_image
30° 30° 5m (16.4ft.)Notes On Use
- Do not allow direct sunlight, an inverter fluorescent light or other strong light to shine onto the unit's infrared signal reception window (remote sensor). Doing so may disable operation of the remote controller.
- Note that operating the remote controller may cause other devices operated by infrared rays to be operated by mistake.
- The remote controller cannot be operated if the line of sight between the remote controller and the unit's remote sensor is obstructed.
- Do not place any objects on top of the remote controller. Doing so may cause one or more buttons to be held down, which will cause the battery to run down.
CAUTIONS ON HANDLING BATTERIES
Misuse of the lithium battery can result in heat buildup, ignition, or rupture. Bear in mind the following points when using or replacing batteries.
- The supplied battery is for testing the functionality of the remote controller.
- Use a CR2032 lithium battery.
• NEVER recharge the battery. - Do not handle the battery roughly or deconstruct the battery.
- When replacing the battery, place it with correct polarity (+ and -).
- Do not leave the battery in a place subject to high temperature, such as a place subject to direct sunlight.
- Keep the battery in a place beyond infants' or children's reach. If a battery is swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
- If electrolyte has leaked, discard the battery immediately. Be careful when handling such a battery, because if the electrolyte is attached to your skin or clothes, you may be burned. If it is accidentally attached, immediately wash with tap water then consult a physician.
- When a battery which is no longer required is to be discarded, insulate it with tape, etc. and dispose of it in a place without fire, by following the directions (regulations) laid down by the local authorities in the area concerned for its disposal.
