Maintenance

2. Cleaning
To clean the remote control, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, or chemical solvents, as these can damage the remote's surface or internal components.
3. Storage
If the remote control will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage to the device.
