Maintenance
Battery Replacement
The Cync Dimmer Remote is powered by one C battery, which typically lasts over two years. To replace the battery, carefully open the battery compartment on the back of the remote, remove the old battery, and insert a new C battery, ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.
Cleaning
To clean the remote, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the remote's surface or internal components.
Troubleshooting
- Remote Not Responding:
- Check if the battery needs replacement.
- Ensure the remote is within Bluetooth range of the paired Cync devices.
- Verify that the Cync devices (bulbs, plugs, switches) are powered on and functioning correctly.
- Difficulty Pairing:
- Ensure your Cync App is updated to the latest version.
- If experiencing persistent issues, try deleting the remote from the Cync App, creating a new 'Home' in the app, adding the remote to this new 'Home', updating its firmware if prompted, then deleting it from the temporary 'Home' and re-adding it to your desired 'Home' or group.
- Lights Not Dimming or Changing Color:
- Ensure the remote is paired with Cync smart bulbs that support dimming and color/temperature changes. The remote's primary function is to control brightness and white light tones.
- Magnetic Back Not Adhering:
- Ensure the surface is metallic and clean.
