Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the selfie stick tripod with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is fully retracted and the tripod legs are folded for compact storage.
• Remote Control Battery: If the remote control uses a replaceable battery, refer to its specific instructions for battery replacement. If it is rechargeable, ensure it is charged periodically to maintain functionality.

Troubleshooting

• Remote Control Not Connecting:
  - Ensure the remote control is powered on and within range (up to 10m).
  - Check your smartphone's Bluetooth settings to confirm it's enabled and the remote is paired. If not, unpair and re-pair the device.
  - Verify the remote's battery level.
• Phone Not Attaching Securely (MagSafe):
  - Ensure your phone is MagSafe compatible (iPhone 12 series or newer).
  - If using an older iPhone or Android, confirm that a MagSafe ring sticker is correctly applied and aligned.
  - Remove any thick or non-MagSafe compatible phone cases that might interfere with the magnetic connection.
• Tripod Instability:
  - Ensure the tripod legs are fully deployed and locked into position.
  - Avoid placing the tripod on uneven surfaces.
  - Do not overload the tripod with accessories beyond its intended capacity.
• Extension Mechanism Sticking:
  - Gently extend and retract the stick to ensure no debris is caught in the sections.
  - Avoid forcing the extension if it feels stiff.
• Remote Button Functionality:
  - Some smartphone cameras may interpret the remote's shutter button as a volume button. Check your camera app settings for options to assign volume buttons as shutter controls.
