Maintenance

Battery Replacement

Replace batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish or stops working. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new AAA batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.

Cleaning

To clean the remote control, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the remote's surface or internal components.

Storage

Store the remote control in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If the remote will not be used for an extended period, it is advisable to remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

Troubleshooting

• Remote not responding:
  • Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace them if necessary.
  • Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the remote control and the satellite receiver's IR sensor. Remove any obstructions.
  • Confirm that the remote is paired with your receiver, especially if it's a new setup or if the receiver's settings have been reset.
• Buttons not working correctly:
  • Clean the remote control, paying attention to the areas around the unresponsive buttons, as dirt or debris might be interfering.
  • If only specific buttons are affected, and cleaning does not help, the remote may be faulty.
• Remote works intermittently:
  • This often indicates low battery power. Replace the batteries.
  • Ensure you are within the effective range of the receiver's IR sensor.
