4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your remote control.

4.1 Cleaning

• Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth.
• For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the remote.

Replace batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish or stops working. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new 1.5V AA alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.

If the remote control will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage to the remote.

If you encounter issues with your remote control, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

• Remote is not responding:
  • Ensure batteries are installed correctly with the correct polarity (+/-).
  • Replace old batteries with new 1.5V AA alkaline batteries.
  • Check for any obstructions between the remote control and the AV receiver's IR sensor.
  • Ensure you are within the operational range (up to 32 feet) and pointing the remote directly at the receiver.
• Some buttons are not working:
  • This may indicate low battery power. Replace batteries.
  • Ensure the button is clean and not stuck.
