What happens here

Back home, the host unloads the insulation bags and the blower machine. He connects the flexible pink hose to the machine's output port. He then connects the power cord, and reveals a remote control for operating the machine from the attic. Upon testing the remote, it fails to work. He discovers the battery terminals inside the remote's casing are broken. After some quick repairs, the remote is functional. He shows a chart on the insulation bag indicating the amount of material needed for different R-values (e.g., R-49 requires 17 inches of insulation).

Goal: Prepare the insulation blower machine for operation and ensure remote functionality.
