- Cleaning: Clean the remote with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse it in liquids.
- Storage: Store the remote in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
- Remote not working after programming:
- Re-check all programming steps carefully.
- Ensure Jumper JR6 on the receiver board is correctly set to 'ON'.
- Verify the battery in the remote is fresh and correctly inserted.
- Confirm your original remote is a DITEC GOL4C fixed code at 433.92MHz. This remote is not compatible with DITEC GOL4 or rolling code systems.
- Reduced range:
- Replace the remote's battery.
- Check for obstructions between the remote and the receiver.
- Ensure the receiver antenna is not obstructed or damaged.
- Indicator light not illuminating:
- Replace the remote's battery.
- Check for physical damage to the remote.
8. User Tips
