MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING THE UNIT

• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during setup.
• Switch off the unit, unplug the main cable and wait until the unit has cooled down.
• All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and should not be corroded.
• Housings, fixations and installation spots (ceiling, trusses, suspensions) should be totally free from any deformation.
• The main cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately even when a small problem is detected.
• It is recommended to clean the front at regular intervals, from impurities caused by dust, smoke, or other particles to ensure that the light is radiated at maximum brightness. For cleaning, disconnect the main plug from the socket. Use a soft, clean cloth moistened with a mild detergent. Then carefully wipe the part dry. For cleaning other housing parts use only a soft, clean cloth. Never use a liquid, it might penetrate the unit and cause damage to it.

Battery Guide

New Lithium Battery Initialisation
Any new fixture containing a Lithium battery should be initialised when first purchased to maximise its battery life. To do this:

1. Fully charge the unit for a minimum of 5 to 6 hours.
2. Fully discharge, then fully recharge the battery.
3. Repeat this cycle another 2 times for optimum battery life

Maximizing Battery Performance

1. Lithium batteries perform best when in regular use. Long idle periods will reduce the battery life.
2. Recharge the battery at the earliest opportunity, leaving batteries discharged for long periods will reduce battery life.
3. Store units containing Lithium batteries at cool temperatures. High ambient temperatures significantly reduce the life of a Lithium battery.
4. Disconnect power from the unit when charging is complete.
5. Do not use fixtures whilst charging.

Long term storage

1. Charge your fixture’s battery to around 50%. If you store a fixture with a fully discharged battery, it could fall into a deep discharge state. If you store it fully charged, the battery may lose some capacity, leading to shorter battery life.
2. Power down the device to avoid additional battery use.
3. Place your device in a cool, moisture-free environment that’s less than 32° C (90° F).
