Powering On/Off and Mode Selection

Using the Handle and Stand

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the Light BAR Deluxe, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the device in water.

When not in use for extended periods, store the light bar in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the battery is partially charged before storage and recharge it every few months to maintain battery health.

Troubleshooting

• Light does not turn on:
  • Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the light bar to the AC power adaptor and allow it to charge.
  • Verify the sliding switch is in the "HIGH", "LOW", or "SOS" position, not "OFF".
• Light is dim:
  • The battery may be low. Recharge the device.
  • Ensure the switch is set to "HIGH" for maximum brightness.
• Device is not charging:
  • Check if the AC power adaptor is securely plugged into both the light bar and the wall outlet.
