CAUTION  
• Do not connect the power cord until you have completed making all other  
connections; otherwise a minimum leakage current might flow through  
the antenna and other terminals to ground.  
To avoid battery leakage and damage to the remote, remove the batteries  
from the remote if you are not going to use it for several days. If any  
liquid that leaks from the batteries touches you, immediately wash it  
away with water.
