To clean the remote control, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical wipes, as these may damage the surface or internal components.

If the remote control becomes unresponsive or its range decreases, it's likely time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps in Section 3.1. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type (AAA).
6. Troubleshooting
6.1. Remote Control Not Working
- Check Batteries: Ensure batteries are inserted correctly with the right polarity and are not depleted. Replace them if necessary.
- Line of Sight: Make sure there is a clear line of sight between the remote control and the TV's IR receiver. Obstructions can block the signal.
- Distance: Ensure you are within the effective operating range of the remote control (typically up to 8 meters).
- TV Power: Confirm that the TV is plugged in and powered on.
6.2. Specific Buttons Not Responding
- Clean the remote control, especially around the unresponsive buttons, to remove any dirt or debris that might be preventing proper contact.
