• Cleaning: Wipe down the transmitter and receiver with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Battery Replacement: Replace transmitter batteries promptly when the low-battery LED indicators illuminate.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the unit for any physical damage, especially the silicone buttons and the reinforced shell. Check the wiring connections on the receiver for secure fit and signs of wear.
• Environmental Protection: While the unit is IP65 rated for dust and water resistance, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions should be minimized.
