Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your remote control.

Cleaning: Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or alcohol, as these can damage the surface and buttons.
Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish or it stops functioning. Always replace both batteries simultaneously with new AAA alkaline batteries.
Storage: If the remote control will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage, which can damage the remote. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Avoid Damage: Do not drop the remote control, expose it to extreme temperatures, or immerse it in water.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your remote control, try the following troubleshooting steps:

Remote Not Responding:
- Check if the batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity (+/-).
- Replace the batteries with fresh AAA alkaline batteries.
- Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the AV Receiver's infrared sensor.
- Make sure you are within the effective operating range (approximately 8-10 meters or 26-33 feet) and pointing the remote directly at the receiver.
Specific Buttons Not Working:
- This is rare for a direct replacement remote. Ensure the AV Receiver is powered on and in the correct mode for the button's function (e.g., selecting 'CD' source before using playback controls).
- If the issue persists after checking batteries and line of sight, the remote may be faulty.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact ECONTROLLY customer support for further assistance.
