4. Maintenance

• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish or stops working. Always use new AAA alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.

  • Ensure you are pointing the remote directly at the TV.
• Certain buttons do not work:
  • Some buttons may be specific to certain TV models or functions (e.g., Smart TV features, specific input types). Verify if the function is supported by your TV model.
  • Clean the remote's surface and ensure no debris is stuck under the buttons.
