5.2. Cleaning
To clean the remote control, gently wipe its surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners, abrasive materials, or solvents, as these can damage the remote's finish or internal components.
6. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your remote control, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Remote not responding:
- Check if the batteries are installed correctly with the correct polarity (+/-).
- Replace old batteries with new AAA 1.5V batteries.
- Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the car receiver's infrared sensor.
- Make sure you are within the effective operating range of the receiver.
- Specific buttons not working:
- Clean the remote control surface, especially around the unresponsive buttons, to remove any dirt or debris that might be interfering.
- If only certain buttons fail, and battery replacement does not help, the remote may be faulty.
