Slide the battery cover back onto the remote control.

Keep the remote control within a 5 metre distance (without obstructions) and aim it to the unit within a 30 degree angle.

Precautionary note
Remove the battery when the unit is not being used for a long period of time.

Placement/mounting of the device
The device can be placed horizontally on a table or TV stand, or attached to a wall. If your TV is placed on a table or TV stand, you can place the device on it directly in front of the TV, centred with the TV screen.

If your TV is attached to the wall, you can mount the device centred on the wall directly below the TV screen. Installation must only be carried out by qualified personnel. Incorrect assembly can result in severe personal injury and damage. If you intend to install this device yourself, you must check for installations such as electrical wiring and plumbing that may be buried inside the wall. The installer is responsible for verifying whether the wall will safely support the total load of the device. Additional tools (not included) are required for installation. Do not over-tighten screws. Use an electronic stud finder to check the wall before drilling and mounting.

Measure a width of 62 cm (24.4 inches) on the wall.
Mark the position of the mounting screws on the wall using a pencil.
Drill 2 parallel holes (Ø 3-8 mm each according to wall type) in the wall. The distance between the holes should be 62 cm.
Firmly fix 1 plug into each hole in the wall if necessary.
Insert 1 screw into each hole or plug. Leave a 7 to 8 mm gap between the wall and the screw head. Lift the device over the heads of the screws and slot into place.
