6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ATUMTEK Selfie Stick Tripod, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the tripod with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the device is completely dry before storage. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, retract the rod fully and fold the tripod legs. Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: For the Bluetooth remote, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge it regularly, even if not in constant use, to maintain battery health.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 15kg (33 lbs) on the central base. While the product is durable, excessive force or weight can cause damage.
