4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To clean the remote control, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the remote's surface or internal components.
4.2 Battery Replacement
Replace batteries when the remote's responsiveness decreases or if it stops functioning. Always replace all four AAA batteries at the same time with new ones. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries, as this can lead to leakage or improper operation. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

- Remote Not Responding:
- Check if the batteries are installed correctly with the correct polarity (+/-).
