Maintenance

- Inspect Connections: Periodically check all connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion, especially for outdoor installations.
- Protect Non-Waterproof Parts: Always ensure the Bluetooth controller, IR remote, and power plug are protected from moisture and direct water exposure.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
