  • Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries (alkaline, carbon-zinc, rechargeable).
  • Discontinue use if the remote becomes warm or hot and contact customer support.

Remote Control Pairing: The remote control needs to be paired with the TV. Instructions are given for initial pairing during first-time setup, and for re-pairing if the remote fails to connect (by holding specific buttons on the remote).
