7. Maintenance

7.1. Battery Replacement (Transmitter)

The wireless transmitter uses a CR2032 coin cell battery. When the control range decreases or the transmitter becomes unresponsive, it may be time to replace the battery.

1. Gently pry open the back cover of the transmitter.
2. Remove the old CR2032 battery.
3. Insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
4. Close the back cover securely.

7.2. Cleaning

Wipe the surfaces of the receiver and transmitter with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the devices in water.

8. Troubleshooting

• Device not responding:
  • Check if the receiver has power.
  • Ensure the transmitter battery is not depleted. Replace if necessary.
  • Re-pair the transmitter and receiver (refer to Section 5).
  • Ensure the transmitter is within the effective control range.
• Intermittent control:
  • Check for strong radio interference sources nearby.
  • Ensure the receiver is not obstructed by large metal objects.
  • Replace the transmitter battery.
• Appliance not turning on/off:
  • Verify the wiring connections to the receiver module are correct and secure.
