• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surfaces of the grip and fill light. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

• Bluetooth remote not connecting: Make sure the remote is powered on and within range. Try unpairing and re-pairing the remote in your phone's Bluetooth settings. Ensure the remote's battery is charged.
• Fill light not turning on: Check if the fill light's battery is charged. Press and hold the power button for a few seconds to ensure it's not just a short press.
