Maintenance

Cleaning the Remote Control

To maintain the remote control's appearance and functionality, clean it regularly:

• Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth.
• For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the remote.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaning pads, as these can damage the remote's finish or internal components.

Battery Replacement

Replace batteries when the remote control becomes unresponsive or its range decreases. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new AAA batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.

Storage

If the remote control will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage to the remote.

  • Replace the batteries with fresh AAA batteries.
• Intermittent functionality:
