4. Maintenance
4.1. Cleaning the Remote
To maintain the remote control's appearance and functionality:
- Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the remote.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaning pads, as these can damage the remote's finish or internal components.

Replace batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish or stops working. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new Alkaline batteries of the same type. Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
