NOTE: ® @
For the RC-AV20M transmitter provided with the )
TX-890M/870M, —please refer to the separate instruction ma-
nual (included).
® For details on the function of each control, see the description
in “Remote Contro! Transmitter Controls (RC-118S) on pages

Batteries
The remote control transmitter is powered by two batteries.
Before using this unit for the first time, insert the two batteries
(included) as shown in the diagram. The remote control trans-
mitter has no on/off switch. Average battery life is one year.
This period may be shorter depending on the frequency of use
and environment (temperature and humidity) in which the re-
mote control transmitter is used. If the remote control transmitter
does not operate even though front panel controls function
normally, the batteries should be replaced. Use only batteries
listed in the following chart.

. Do not leave an expired battery in the case as it may leak or
damage the battery case.
. When inserting the batteries, be sure the (+) and (—) ends
are properly aligned.
. Do not use nickel-cadmium (rechargeable) batteries.
. Do not use one specified (manganese) battery and one al-
kaline battery at the same time.
. Replace both batteries at once; do not use one old and one
new battery together.
Precautions
. Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter is not going
to be used for a long time.
This unit uses infrared rays. Therefore, commands may not be
received properly if the front panel of the TX-890/870 is exposed
to bright light. To prevent this from occurring, place the
TX-890/870 so that it is not directly exposed to a bright light.
The batteries of the remote control transmitter must be replaced
periodically. Remember, however, that commands will be re-
ceived only when the main power switch of the TX-890/870
is on.
The transmitter operates up to a distance of about five meters
(16 feet}. the transmitting window must always be pointed at
the reception window when a command is sent to the receiver.
If the TX-890/870 is placed inside an audio rack behind a glass
door, the door should not use colored glass or have any deco-
rations on it since this could shorten the range or prevent
commands from being received.
Use of other infrared remote control devices in the same room
may cause interference.
if this remote control transmitter does not operate properly,
confirm that the batteries are not dead. If the problem persists,
contact your Onkyo service center.
