Information

In the event of a complaint (remote control buttons too easily pressed), the silicone pad and buttons can be replaced with modified spare parts.

Information

To prevent irreparable damage to the PCB as a result of an electrostatic discharge, always observe the following points:

Only rework the remote control on a workbench or toolbox.
Before opening the remote control, place both hands on the workbench or on the toolbox to ground yourself (place both hands briefly on the workbench).
Then start working immediately.
The PCB should only be held carefully at the edge.

Insert a small screwdriver between the cover and the lower part of the remote control -arrow- and carefully lift the lid off.
