4. Maintenance
4.1 General Care
- Keep the remote control and receiver clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid exposing the devices to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents for cleaning, as they may damage the device surfaces.
4.2 Battery Care
- Charge the G30 using the provided PD 33W fast charger or a compatible Type-C power source.
- Avoid overcharging or completely draining the battery to prolong its lifespan.
- Store the device with a partial charge (around 50%) if it will not be used for an extended period.
4.3 Fiber Optic Port Maintenance
- Ensure the fiber optic port and cable connectors are clean before use. Dust or dirt can impair performance.
- Handle fiber optic cables with care to prevent bending or damage.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Signal Stability Issues
- If experiencing unstable signals, ensure the G30's dual-band auto-switching is functioning correctly.
- Check for potential sources of interference in your operating environment.
- Verify that the GR03 receiver's antennas are properly connected and oriented.
5.2 Range Limitations
- While the G30 offers a 30KM range, certain transmission rate settings can affect communication distance. For optimal range, ensure settings are appropriate for long-distance use.
- If using a mode that affects communication distance, it is recommended for short-distance operations.
5.3 Connectivity Problems
- Ensure all cables (USB, Ethernet, Fiber Optic) are securely connected to their respective ports on both the G30 and GR03.
- Check the Frequency Pairing Indicator Light on the GR03 to confirm successful pairing with the G30.
