Check your model number

Questions about this item
Will the AAA batteries need frequent replacement with daily use?
The remote uses standard AAA batteries; typical life spans several months depending on how often you press buttons.
What stops the remote from working continuously for long periods?
Infrared requires line-of-sight to the Kenwood receiver, so obstacles or extreme angles are the practical limit.
Does the handset get warm or make any noise when left on all day?
No — it is a passive infrared device with no active electronics that generate heat or sound.
