To prevent the information in your microSD card from being leaked, you
can lock that microSD card using your device. When the locked microSD
card is used for the rst time on another device, it requires password
authentication to be used.Not all devices support microSD cards.

lower than in most remote controls, with an effective range of no greater than 7 meters.
Customize a remote control : Open Smart Remote , go to > Customize , select the
controller template, and touch the gray button to learn the controller function. While learning, keep
your phone and remote control still and within 5 cm from each other. Keep the button held for more
