[. . . ] This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. Before operating the receiver, check that the operating voltage is identical with your local power supply. This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off. ⷠIf you are not going to use the receiver for a long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver from the wall outlet. [. . . ] Repeat steps 3 through 5 until you enter the names of all the IR codes you want to program. Before going to step 7, cover the IR sensor on the respective equipment to prevent accidental operation during the programing procedure. When "PUSH YOUR COMMANDER" appears on the TV screen, press the button you want to program. When programing the IR code, point the remote at the IR sensor on the receiver from a distance no greater than 4 inches (10 cm) and hold down the button on the remote for about 5 seconds until the instruction "RELEASE YOUR COMMANDER" appears and the IR code setting indicator turns off. To enter a space Keep the remote pointed horizontally at the IR sensor until the code is programed. If you tilt or move the remote during the programing procedure, the IR code may not be programed correctly. Even if the receiver's power cord has been disconnected from the AC power outlet, programed IR codes will stay in the memory for approximately two weeks. If they disappear, "ALL CLEAR" will appear on the TV screen when you turn on the unit again. ⷠThe power switch on some air conditioners use two independent IR codes, even when there is only one switch. If you cannot turn the air conditioner off with the IR code programed for the on/off switch, repeat the procedure and program the on and off IR codes separately. ⷠThe operation of some air conditioner remote commanders require two­way signal exchange with the air conditioner itself.
