			For a first time setup:

			* Pull the plastic tab out of the remote.
			* Press the select button (inner circle) at the top of the remote to turn it on.

			(If the remote doesn't connect or you're having trouble pulling out the plastic tab, you may need to remove the battery to make sure the tab's not stuck.)


			Removing a plastic tab that is stuck in the remote:

			* Hold the remote so the strap is pointing away from you.
			* Push your thumbs up to slide the battery cover off.
			* Hold the battery tab down, turn the remote over and lightly tap it against a hard surface (ex: table) until the battery comes out.
