- Always remove batteries before cleaning.
- Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the remote.
- For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the remote's finish or internal components.
- Ensure the remote is completely dry before reinserting batteries.
Battery Care and Replacement

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Ready5 Smart remote control, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
Remote Not Responding
- Check Batteries: Ensure batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity (+/-) and are not depleted. Replace with fresh AAA batteries if necessary.
- Line of Sight: Make sure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the TV's infrared receiver. Point the remote directly at the TV.
- Distance: Ensure you are within the effective operating range (up to 10 meters).
- TV Power: Confirm that your TV is powered on and not in standby mode.
Specific Buttons Not Working
- General Functionality: If most buttons work but a few do not, it might indicate a specific TV model's lack of support for that particular function via universal remote, or a dirty contact under the button.
- Smart TV/Streaming Buttons: Ensure your TV is a Smart TV and has the respective applications (Netflix, Prime Video) installed and updated.
