A remote control device, comprising:
- a control unit;
- and
- a holder defining a cavity that opens through a surface of the holder, the control unit seated in the cavity through the opening in the surface of the holder and recessed relative to the surface of the holder.
A remote control device, comprising:
- a holder defining a cavity opening through a surface of the holder for receiving a control unit of the remote control device, the holder further defining an access feature in the surface of the holder that facilitates removal of the control unit from the holder.
A method of assembling a remote control device, the method comprising:
- positioning a control unit forwardly of a cavity that opens through a surface of a holder;
- aligning a longitudinal axis of the control unit with a longitudinal axis of the cavity;
- aligning multiple retention features of the control unit with multiple corresponding retention features of the holder, the multiple retention features of the control unit extending lengthwise along the longitudinal axis of the control unit, and the multiple corresponding retention features of the holder extending lengthwise along the longitudinal axis of the holder;
- and
- inserting the control unit into the cavity by moving the control unit toward the holder along the longitudinal axis of the holder such that the multiple retention features of the control unit engage the multiple corresponding retention features of the holder.
