Battery Replacement

The remote control is powered by a Lithium battery. When the remote's range decreases or it becomes unresponsive, the battery may need replacement. To replace the battery:

2. Open the compartment carefully.
3. Remove the old battery and insert a new Lithium battery of the same type, observing the correct polarity (+/-).
4. Close the battery compartment securely.
