XDA-3 Differential Reference DAC
Care and Maintenance
Periodic Maintenance
Your XDA-3 requires no periodic maintenance or calibration.
Cleaning Your XDA-3
• If necessary, the XDA-3 should be cleaned gently with a soft rag.
• If something sticky gets on the front panel or case of the XDA-3, it should be cleaned with a
mild cleaning solution applied to a soft rag, followed by wiping with a clean rag dampened
with plain water and drying with a soft dry rag or cloth.
Note: DO NOT spray water or cleaning solution directly onto the XDA-3 or into
the display or connectors.
Replacing The Batteries in Your XDA-3 Remote Control
Emotiva recommends using high quality Alkaline AAA batteries in the XDA-3 remote control.
• Remove the back plate of the remote control.
The back plate of the XDA-3 remote control is attached magnetically. To remove the back plate,
insert a small screwdriver into the small slot on the back plate at the bottom edge and pry it
gently upwards. As soon as the back plate is free of the magnets holding it, you will be able to lift
it entirely free of the body of the remote control.
• Locate the battery holder.
• Note the direction in which the batteries are installed in the holder.
• Remove the depleted batteries and dispose of them in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
• Insert new batteries, taking care to insert them in the same orientation (facing the same way)
as the original batteries.
• Replace the back plate (the slot should be toward the bottom end of the remote control and
the small metal loop next to the slot should be on the inside when the back is in place.)
Your remote control is now ready to use.
Note: Your XDA-3 may arrive with the batteries packaged separately, or the remote control may
arrive with batteries already installed, but with a small insulator installed between one battery
and the battery contact to prevent the batteries from discharging in shipping. If so, then simply
follow the instructions for opening the remote control, and pull out the small insulator strip
that is inserted between the end of the battery and the battery contact, before using your
remote control.
