7. Troubleshooting
- Device not responding:
- Ensure both the remote control and receiver are fully charged.
- Verify the receiver is activated by pressing its button.
- Check that the receiver's conductive tip is making firm and correct contact with the screen where a page turn would normally occur.
- If the receiver has been idle for 10 minutes, it may have entered standby mode. Press the activation button on the receiver again to reactivate it.
- Page turning is inconsistent or covers text:
- Adjust the position of the receiver on the screen. It should be placed in an area that simulates a finger tap for page turning, typically near the edge of the screen.
- For some e-readers, adjusting the margin settings in the device's display options may be necessary to prevent the receiver from obscuring text.
- Remote control buttons feel unresponsive:
- The buttons are designed for durability. Ensure a firm press is applied. Both buttons perform the same function.
