4.2 Battery Replacement
Replace the batteries when the remote control's response becomes sluggish or it stops functioning. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type (AAA). Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries, as this can lead to leakage or malfunction.
5. Troubleshooting
- Remote not responding:
- Check battery polarity and ensure they are fresh. Replace if necessary.
- Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the TV's infrared (IR) receiver.
- Point the remote control directly at the TV.
- If using RF communication, ensure the remote is properly paired with the TV (refer to Section 2.2).
- Specific app buttons (Netflix, Prime Video, Rakuten TV) not working:
- These buttons often rely on RF communication or specific TV software. Ensure the remote is correctly paired with your TV.
- Verify that your TV model supports these direct access buttons with a replacement remote. Some older or basic models may not fully support all smart features via a generic replacement.
