Preparing the remote control unit
Inserting batteries
1 Open the battery cover.
2 Load the supplied two AA size batteries while inserting
their respective negative polarity (–) ends first.
• The battery polarities must correspond with the (+) and (–)
indicators in the battery compartment.
3 Close the battery cover.
Cautions regarding batteries
• The remote control unit cannot operate the system if the
batteries in the unit are weak. When this happens, replace the
batteries with new ones.
• When you replace the batteries, use alkaline batteries for the
remote control unit.
• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of
batteries have different characteristics.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries
can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical leakage
in old batteries.
• Do not leave dead batteries in the remote control unit;
chemical leakage will occur. If you find any chemical leakage,
wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life
expectancy due to storage conditions.
• If you will not use the remote control unit for an extended
period of time, remove the batteries from it.
Allowed operation range of the remote control
unit
Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the
remote control sensor located at the bottom right of the front
panel of the plasma display. The distance from the remote control
sensor must be within 7 m (23 feet) and the angle relative to the
sensor must be within 30 degrees in the right or left direction.
Note
• For the remote control sensor located on the PDP-4280HD, see
Part Names on page 13.
Cautions regarding the remote control unit
• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock, liquid, or high
humidity.
• Do not place the remote control unit under direct sunlight; the
unit may deform.
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote
sensor window of the plasma display is under direct sunlight or
strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of the lighting
or plasma display, or operate the remote control unit closer to
the remote sensor window.
• When any obstacle exists between the remote control unit and
the remote control sensor, the remote control unit may not
function.
• As the batteries become weak, the remote control unit can
function within a shorter distance from the remote control
sensor. Replace the batteries with new ones if necessary.
• The plasma display emits very weak infrared rays from its
screen. If you place such equipment operated through infrared
remote control as a VCR nearby, that equipment may not
receive commands from its remote control unit properly or
entirely. If this is the case, place that equipment at a location
far enough from the plasma display.
• Depending on the installation environment, infrared rays from
the plasma display may not allow this system to properly
receive commands from the remote control unit or may
shorten allowable distances between the remote control unit
and the remote control sensor. The strength of infrared rays
emitted from the screen differs, depending on images
displayed on the screen.
Battery disposal
When disposing of used batteries, please comply with
governmental regulations or environmental public
institution’s rules that apply in your country/area.
