5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To clean the remote control, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, lightly 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 surface or internal components.
5.2 Battery Replacement
Replace batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish or stops working. Always replace both AAA batteries at the same time with new ones. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Remote not working. | Dead or incorrectly inserted batteries. | Replace batteries with new AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). |
| Remote has short range or intermittent response. | Weak batteries; Obstruction between remote and receiver; Remote not pointed correctly. | Replace batteries. Ensure a clear line of sight to the receiver's IR sensor. Point the remote directly at the receiver. |
| Certain buttons do not function. | Button stuck or damaged; Receiver model incompatibility for specific advanced functions. | Check if the button is physically stuck.
