5. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your remote control.

5.1 Battery Replacement

Replace batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish, the LED indicator dims, or the remote stops functioning. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new AAA alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.

5.2 Cleaning

To clean the remote control, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the remote's finish or internal components.

5.3 Storage

When not in use for extended periods, it is advisable to remove the batteries to prevent leakage, which can damage the remote. Store the remote in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

If you encounter issues with your RM Series Replacement Remote Control, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Remote is not responding:
  • Check if the batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity (+/-).

  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote control and your device's infrared receiver.
  • Make sure you are within the effective operating range and pointing the remote directly at the device.
