6. Konserwacja

• Keep the module and remote transmitter clean and dry. Avoid exposure to moisture, dust, and extreme temperatures.
• Regularnie sprawdzaj wszystkie połączenia przewodów, aby mieć pewność, że są solidne i nie są skorodowane.
• Replace the remote control battery (12V A23) when its performance degrades or the indicator light on the remote becomes dim.

7. Rozwiązywanie Problemów

• Silnik nie reaguje na pilota:
  
  • Sprawdź, czy moduł jest zasilany.
  • Sprawdź, czy bateria pilota nie jest rozładowana.
  • Re-pair the remote control with the module following the pairing instructions for your desired mode.
  • Verify that the module's antenna is not obstructed or damaged.
• Motor moves in the wrong direction:
  
  • Check the motor wiring polarity (Motor+ and Motor- connections). Swapping these connections will reverse the motor's direction.
• Short remote control range:
  
  • Ensure the module's antenna is extended and not obstructed.
  • Check for sources of RF interference in the environment.
  • Verify the remote control battery strength.
• Module indicator light not working:
  
  • Check the power supply to the module.
  • If the module is in power-saving mode, the indicator light may behave differently.
