After inserting the new batteries, plug in the necessary cables and check whether your remote is working fine without any issues.

Clear the Obstructions

Your Cello TV remote won’t work if any physical objects block the IR signal between your remote and the TV. Hence relocate the physical objects to different places and operate the TV in a direct line of sight. Make sure to use the remote in a range of fewer than 30 feet while changing channels, increasing or decreasing the volume, and turning on or off the TV.

Check the Internet Related Issues

If the internet connection is very low, some Cello remotes won’t function properly. You can follow the below techniques to cross-check whether there are any issues with your internet connection.

• Disconnect the WiFi connection and re-connect it back after a few seconds.
• If you are using any wired connection, unplug the ethernet cable and connect it back after a couple of minutes.
• Open any web browser, enter any topic in the address bar, and search for it. If it loads quickly without any issues, your internet connection is stable and there are no issues with your network.
• If you encounter any slowness, connect the TV to a different WiFi network and use the TV remote.

Reset the Router/Modem

Sometimes, the issue may be with the WiFi router itself. Due to this, you won’t be able to operate the Cello TV remote. Such problems can be fixed by resetting the WiFi router.

1. Power off your Cello TV.

2. Disconnect your Router/Modem from the power socket.

3. After 30 seconds, connect the necessary cables back to the Router.

4. Once the internet connection is stable, try using the Cello TV remote and check whether the issues are resolved.

Clean the Remote Control Pads

If there is any speck of smudges on the remote, use a cotton cloth or softball dipped in 99% isopropyl alcohol to clean the remote buttons. While cleaning the remote, avoid using water as it might damage the internal hardware of the remote. After cleaning the remote with alcohol, take a wet cotton cloth and clean the remote once again to ensure that there is no liquid spill. Now, check whether your Cello TV remote is working without any issues.
