Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AYR Model 511 Digital Bluetooth Handlebar, follow these maintenance guidelines:

- Cleaning: Clean the handle's stainless steel surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
- Environmental Conditions: While durable, the handle is designed for interior use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, direct water spray, or high humidity, which could affect its electronic components.
- Firmware Updates: Periodically check the JANUS LOCK app for any available firmware updates for your handle. Updates can improve performance, add features, or address security vulnerabilities. Follow the app's instructions for applying updates.
