How to Insert Batteries Correctly
Even if you successfully opened up your remote control and changed the batteries, the remote control won’t function properly if the batteries weren’t put in properly. It’s essential to know how batteries operate before installing them on your device.
Here are three suggestions for correctly inserting batteries:
Use a flashlight. Use the light from your flashlight as a guide when installing the battery in the gadget. You won’t have to be concerned about touching any delicate places with your fingertips or the charging cord thanks to this method.
- Ensure that both the good and negative comments are directed in the same direction. You can have problems inserting the battery properly if they are not.
- Keep an eye on your device’s battery life indicator. Before re-inserting the battery into the device once it has run down, be sure it is turned off.
How to Know if your Smart Remote Works Properly
Step 1. Try taking a photo of the front of your remote control with the camera on your smartphone. You can conveniently verify using your front camera if you have an iPhone.
Step 2. See if the infrared signals are visible on your smartphone camera. If so, your remote control is in good working order. Please make sure that your Smart Remote is properly associated with your TV if it is functioning.
Step 3. If you cannot see the infrared signals, you can either use the bottom USB connector (C-type) to charge your Smart Remote or turn the remote control over to reveal the solar cell. Try installing fresh batteries if your remote control has them. If your remote control is still not functional, please visit the nearby Service Center.
