Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the remote control, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the remote's surface or internal components.
Battery Replacement
When the remote's range decreases or buttons become unresponsive, it is likely time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps in the Setup section. Always replace both AAA batteries at the same time with new ones. Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
