Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your remote control, please observe the following guidelines:

• Avoid exposing the remote control to extremely hot or humid environments.
• Do not mix new batteries with old ones; always replace all batteries simultaneously with new ones.
• Keep the remote control's infrared (IR) sensor away from direct sunlight or strong artificial lighting, as this can interfere with its operation.
• If the remote control will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent potential damage from leakage and corrosion.
• Clean the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

If your remote control is not functioning as expected, please follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. Check Batteries: Reinstall the batteries, ensuring the contacts are clean and the polarity (+/-) is correct. If the issue persists, replace both batteries with new AA batteries.
2. Check Device Power: Confirm that your television is powered on and functional. Test its operation using the physical buttons on the TV panel.
3. Remove Obstructions: Ensure there are no objects blocking the path between the remote control's IR emitter and the television's IR sensor.
4. Remote Range: Move closer to the television to ensure the remote is within effective operating range.
5. Test the Remote's IR Signal:
   • Open the camera app on your smartphone.
   • Point the front (LED end) of the remote control directly at your phone's camera lens.
   • Press and hold any button on the remote.
   • If the remote is working, you should see a faint white or purple light flashing on your phone's screen. This indicates the remote is emitting an IR signal.
   • If no light is visible, there may be an issue with the batteries or the remote control itself.
6. TV Power Cord: Verify that the power cord to your television is securely plugged in and the TV is turned on.
