After changing the battery, if still not bright, you should check whether the positive and negative polarity of the battery has been installed backwards and whether it has a good contact with the soleplate. If no problems with the above checking, and still not bright with the indicator light, then you should check whether the button can work well. If there is response with the indicator light when pressing some buttons, while no response with other buttons, it is more likely that the button has been damaged, or the remote control damaged.

If there are two remote controls, you can first test whether the other one can work well, if there is response, it may because the password of the first one has been lost, and need to be matched. If it still can’t work after matching, there may be problems with the receiving host or the transmitting antenna. And if the host of the remote control is blocked or there is strong interference source, the host will not correctly receive electromagnetic waves from the remote control, and can't control central door lock.

3. Too close effective distance when disturbed with the remote control

If sometimes far and sometimes near with the effective distance, it may be the influence of the surrounding environment.
