Maintenance

Cleaning the Remote

To maintain the remote control's appearance and functionality, clean it periodically:

• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the remote.
• For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Ensure no liquid enters the remote.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaning materials, as these can damage the remote's finish or internal components.

Battery Care

• Replace all batteries simultaneously when they are depleted. Do not mix old and new batteries.
• If the remote control will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage.
• Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
