2. Insert two R6P (AA size) batteries in the RC-258, following the
indications on the battery compartment.
3. Replace the cover on the back of the remote control unit.
Cautions Concerning Dry Batteries
• Use R6P batteries in the RC-258 remote control unit.
• Depending on the frequency of use, the dry batteries should be
replaced approximately once per year.
• If the remote control unit fails to control the CD Player, even before
a year has passed, replace the dry batteries with new ones.
• Be sure to follow polarity indications inside the case of the remote
control unit, inserting the + end and – end of each battery in the
directions indicated.
• Batteries may become damaged or leak under the following
conditions.
✽ Using new batteries together with old ones.
✽ Using different types of batteries together.
✽ Do not short batteries, take them apart, subject them to heat or
throw them into a fire.
• When the remote control unit is not used for a long period of time,
remove the dry batteries.
• If fluid leaks from the batteries, be sure to wipe up all battery fluid
inside the battery case and replace the batteries with new ones.

• Aim the remote control unit toward the light receptor in the front of
the CD Player, as shown in the drawing below.
• The remote control unit can be used up to a distance of 8 meters
in a straight line from the CD Player. However, this distance will be
shortened if there is some obstruction between the remote control
unit and the light receptor, or if the beam of light is slanted.
