Maintenance

Battery Replacement

Replace batteries when the remote's responsiveness decreases or it stops functioning. Always replace both batteries simultaneously with new 1.5V AAA Alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.

Cleaning

To clean the remote control, gently wipe its surface with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the remote's finish or internal components.
