[LG smart TV monitor] Do the batteries on the AI (magic) remote control discharge quickly?

Troubleshooting

➔ The AI (magic) remote control uses RF-type radio frequencies, so it consumes the batteries faster than general TV monitor remote controls.

Causes and Symptoms

  • Are there any electronic devices that interfere with radio waves between the smart TV monitor and the AI (magic) remote control?
  • The power button also does not work if the battery level in the AI (magic) remote control is low.
  • The RF-type remote control makes it possible to operate the smart TV monitor more conveniently just as with a PC mouse, and
    uses smart functions such as voice recognition and motion, sso it consumes the batteries faster than general TV monitor remote controls.

➔ The IR method is an infrared transmission and reception method, and there is a general TV remote control.

This is the method where the communication between the transmitter and the receiver connects in a straight line, and if there is an obstacle in-between
the transmitter and the receiver, signal recognition effectiveness decreases.


➔ The RF method is a radio frequency method utilizing radio waves.

Since this is a broadband communication method using frequencies, it is less affected by the environment and is more stable than the IR method, but the batteries discharge faster.

Try this

Is there an internet wireless router or internet phone near the smart TV monitor?

➔ If an electronic device is too close to the TV, it may interfere with the radio waves and the connection with the AI (magic) remote control may be lost.

※ Locate the wireless router at least 7.87 inches away from the TV.

Locate the wireless router at least 7.87 inches away from the TV.

Does the power button LED on the AI (magic) remote control turn on?

If the batteries become discharged, the AI (magic) remote control will not work.

Check if the LED in the front of the AI remote control turns on when you press a button on the remote control.

If the LED does not turn on, replace the batteries of the remote control.

➔ Replace both long-life alkaline batteries at the same time.

(Manganese batteries have a shorter life.)
