Universal Remote Control (15-1901A) Battery Installation Faxback Doc. # 41168 The URC is powered by four AA batteries. Use only alkaline batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-552). The URC requires the extra power of alkalines and might not perform properly with standard or rechargeable batteries. 1. Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing it in the direction of the arrow. 2. Install four new AA batteries, observing the polarity (+ and -) marked in the compartment. 3. Using a pen or pencil, press [RESET] inside the battery compartment. NOTE: Press [RESET] only when you are installing batteries for the first time or if the microprocessor locks up. See "Troubleshooting," Faxback Doc. # 41170. 4. Replace the compartment cover. NOTES: A set of batteries provides power for up to six months of normal use. However, to avoid loss of the learned commands and command sequences, replace the batteries as soon as you see the BAT LO indicator on the display. If you use the URC after the BAT LO indicator lights, BATTERY flashes or lights steadily on the display. When BATTERY appears, immediately replace the batteries to avoid loss of the URC's memory information. The URC holds learned commands and command sequences in memory for 5 minutes without batteries. Be sure you have new batteries ready to install before you remove the old batteries. You must reset the clock and the timers each time you replace the batteries. Never leave weak batteries in the URC. They can leak damaging chemicals. Do not mix old and new batteries. (LB/km-08/20/1997)
