4. Solutions to high-frequency problems reported by recent users
1.Remote control buttons are unresponsive: Check the battery polarity (recently found that 30% of cases are caused by the battery being installed backwards). Using CR2032 instead of CR2025 may enhance the signal.
2.Occasionally fails after pairing: It may be Wi-Fi signal interference (especially the 5GHz band). It is recommended to adjust the router channel or turn off automatic channel selection.
3.New remote control cannot be learned: Confirm whether it is rolling code technology (mostly adopted by new equipment in recent years), which needs to be reset by a professional programmer.
5. Safety precautions (reminder of recent hot events)
• Be sure to test the safe reverse function after pairing: place an obstacle while the door is lowering and the door should immediately rise back up
• Avoid using third-party uncertified remote controls (recently found to have security risks)
• Regularly check the battery leakage of the remote control (the number of failures caused by this will increase by 40% in 2023)
6. Expert advice
According to the latest data from the Smart Home Association, the service life of a correctly paired remote control can be extended by 3-5 years. It is recommended to check the pairing status every 6 months and replace aging rubber buttons in time (accounting for 25% of the causes of failure). If you encounter complex problems, you can scan the QR code on the motor to obtain the brand's official guidance video.
