What type of batteries does the remote control require, and are there any safety warnings?

The remote control requires 2 AAA (1.5 volt) batteries, and rechargeable batteries should not be used. Always replace all batteries with new ones of the same type, and do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries, as there is a risk of fire or explosion. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of batteries in a fire. (Page 9)
