Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
Adapter not detected by iPhone/App.	Ensure the adapter is fully inserted into the Lightning port. Restart the Ocrustar Remote app. Restart your iPhone. Check if your iPhone's iOS version is compatible with the app.
App is poorly translated or difficult to navigate.	While some translation issues may exist, the app is generally functional. Focus on the icons and common remote functions. Ensure you have selected the English language option if available in the app settings.
App cannot access the IR code database.	If you use system-wide ad blockers or DNS ad blockers, they might interfere with the app's ability to access its online database. Temporarily disable them and try again. Ensure your iPhone has an active internet connection.
Appliance does not respond to commands.	Ensure the adapter is pointed directly at the appliance's IR receiver.

Ensure there are no obstructions between the adapter and the appliance. The control distance is up to 50 feet; ensure you are within range.
