Battery Replacement
Replace batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish or stops working. Always use fresh AAA batteries and dispose of old batteries responsibly.
5. Troubleshooting
Remote Not Responding
- Check Batteries: Ensure batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity and are not depleted. Replace if necessary.
- Line of Sight: Verify there are no obstructions between the remote and your TV's IR receiver. Aim the remote directly at the TV.
- Interference: Avoid pointing the remote at glossy surfaces, as this can cause signal reflection issues. Keep the remote's path clear of bright LED light sources, which can interfere with the IR signal.
- Distance: Ensure you are within the effective operating range (up to 12 meters / 40 feet).

Programming TV Power/Volume (for Roku Express/Soundbar setups)
While this remote is primarily for Roku Built-in TVs, some users with Roku Express or soundbar setups may need to program the TV power and volume buttons. If the power and volume buttons do not control your TV directly, you may need to use a universal remote code for your TV brand. Refer to your TV's manual for compatible universal remote codes or contact Yimaut customer service for assistance.
Note: Some users have reported success using Sony TV codes for Sceptre TVs.
