Replace batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish or stops working. Always replace both batteries simultaneously with new 1.5V AAA 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 device.

• Remote not responding:
  • Ensure batteries are correctly installed with proper polarity (+/-).
  • Replace old batteries with new 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries.
  • Check for any obstructions between the remote and the TV's IR sensor.
  • Ensure you are within the effective operating range and pointing the remote directly at the TV.
• Specific buttons not working:
  • Clean the remote control surface, especially around the non-responsive buttons, to remove any dirt or debris.
  • If only certain shortcut buttons (e.g., Netflix) are not working, ensure your TV is connected to the internet and the respective application is installed and functional on your TV.
• Intermittent operation:
