6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Ensure the light is turned off and unplugged before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or electronic components.
6.2 Battery Care
The OttLite 48500C uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge the light when the brightness noticeably diminishes. If storing the light for an extended period, ensure it is partially charged (around 50%) and recharge it every few months to prevent deep discharge.
7. Troubleshooting
- Light does not turn on: Ensure the unit is charged. Connect it to the AC adapter and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to turn it on again.
- Light dims unexpectedly: This indicates a low battery. Recharge the unit.
- LCD display is blank or incorrect: Check if the unit has power. If the time/date is incorrect, reset it using the instructions in Section 4.2.
- Charging issue (light not charging): Verify that the USB cable and AC adapter are securely connected to both the light and the power outlet. Try a different USB port or outlet if available.
If problems persist, please refer to the warranty and support information in Section 9.
