Cleaning
To clean the remote control, gently wipe its surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the remote's finish or internal components.
Troubleshooting
- Remote not responding:
- Ensure batteries are correctly installed with proper polarity.
- Replace old batteries with new ones.
- Check for any obstructions between the remote and the receiver's infrared sensor.
- Ensure you are within the effective range of the receiver.
- Battery drain issue: Some users have reported rapid battery depletion (e.g., within 3 days). If this occurs, ensure batteries are inserted with correct polarity. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
- Mislabeled battery polarity: In some units, the positive (+) and negative (-) markings inside the battery compartment may be incorrect. If the remote does not work with batteries inserted as labeled, try reversing the battery orientation.
