Replace batteries when the remote control becomes unresponsive or its range decreases significantly. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type (AAA). Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

  • Ensure no strong light sources (like direct sunlight or bright fluorescent lights) are interfering with the infrared signal.
• Specific buttons not working:
