4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your presenter.
- Battery Replacement: When the battery indicator light (if present) signals low power, or if the presenter's responsiveness decreases, replace the two AAA batteries. Always use fresh, high-quality batteries.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the presenter. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface.
- Storage: When not in use, turn off the presenter using the ON/OFF switch. Store the USB receiver inside its dedicated slot within the presenter to prevent loss. The included carrying case provides additional protection during transport and storage.
