4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning the Remote

To maintain the remote's appearance and functionality:

• Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth.
• For stubborn dirt, slightly 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 surface or internal components.

4.2 Battery Replacement

Replace batteries when the remote's performance degrades (e.g., buttons become unresponsive, range decreases). Always replace both batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type (AAA). Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.

4.3 Storage

When not in use for extended periods, it is recommended to remove the batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage to the remote control.

5. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your remote control, try the following solutions:

• Remote not responding:
  • Check if the batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity (+/-).
  • Replace old batteries with new ones.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the TV's infrared sensor.
  • Make sure you are within the effective operating range of the TV.
• Certain buttons not working:
  • This remote is designed to replicate standard LG TV functions. Some advanced or smart TV specific functions might require the original TV remote or a smart remote.
  • Ensure the button is not stuck or dirty.
• Remote works intermittently:
  • This often indicates low battery power. Replace the batteries.
  • Ensure a clear line of sight to the TV's IR receiver.
