5.2 Storage

• Store the stabilizer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Ensure the device is powered off before storing.
• For long-term storage, charge the battery to about 50% every three months to prolong battery life.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Stabilizer Not Powering On

• Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a power source and try again.
• Check the charging cable and adapter for damage.

6.2 Remote Control Not Connecting

• Ensure the remote control is powered on and its battery is not depleted.
• Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.

6.3 Phone Not Balancing Correctly in Gimbal Mode

• Ensure your smartphone is securely clamped and perfectly centered in the holder.
• Remove any bulky phone cases that might affect balance or weight distribution.
