4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning the Remote
To keep your remote control clean, wipe it periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasive pads, or chemical solvents, as these can damage the remote's surface or internal components.
4.2 Battery Replacement
Replace batteries when the remote's performance degrades or it stops responding. 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, as this can lead to leakage or malfunction.

- Check Batteries: Ensure batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity (+/-). Replace with fresh AAA alkaline batteries if necessary.

- Distance: Operate the remote within its effective range (up to 8 meters).
5.2 Intermittent Operation
