3. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your EIGHTREE Smart Plugs, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

- Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the smart plug to extreme temperatures, high humidity, or corrosive environments.
4. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your EIGHTREE Smart Plug, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Connection Issues: Ensure your Alexa Echo device's network is stable, as the Bluetooth smart plugs connect via Bluetooth to reach the app control.

- Voice Control Not Responding: Verify that your Alexa Echo device is properly configured and connected to the internet. Ensure your voice commands are clear and precise.
