Maintenance
Battery Replacement
Replace batteries when the remote control's range decreases or the display becomes dim. Always replace both batteries simultaneously with new AAA alkaline batteries.
- Do not mix old and new batteries.
- Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
- Remove batteries if the remote control will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
- Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
Cleaning
To clean the remote control, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, sprays, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the remote's surface or internal components.
Troubleshooting
- Remote not responding:

- Replace old batteries with new ones.
