Before first use, ensure your Ecoangel LED Road Flares are fully charged. The flares come with a multi-head USB charging cable, allowing you to charge multiple units simultaneously.

Initial Charging

2. Plug the USB-A end of the cable into a compatible USB power source (e.g., car charger, wall adapter, computer USB port).
3. The indicator light on the flare will illuminate red while charging.
4. Once fully charged, the indicator light will turn green.

Placement Considerations

For optimal visibility and stability, consider the following:

• Magnetic Attachment: Utilize the strong magnetic base to secure the flares to any ferrous metal surface, such as the side or back of your vehicle, or under the hood for inspection.
• Hook Hanging: Use the integrated folding hook to hang the flares from car hoods, tent poles, or other elevated points for increased visibility.
• Ground Placement: Place flares on the ground to mark a safe zone around a disabled vehicle or hazard. Space them appropriately to create a clear warning perimeter.

5. Charging

The Ecoangel LED Road Flares are designed for convenient recharging. Each flare contains a 650mAh Lithium-Ion battery.

Charging Process

• Locate the USB input port on the flare.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care ensures the longevity and reliability of your Ecoangel LED Road Flares.

• Cleaning: Wipe the flares with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Water Resistance: The flares are designed to be waterproof for daily use and in heavy rain. However, they are not intended for prolonged submersion in water. Do not intentionally submerge the flares.
• Storage: Store the flares in their carrying bag in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are fully charged before long-term storage to maintain battery health.
• Charging Port Caution: The USB charging port can be fragile. Always insert and remove the charging cable gently to prevent damage to the port and internal circuitry.
• Do Not Open: Do not attempt to open the flare casing or remove the screws, as this may compromise the waterproof seal and internal components, voiding any warranty.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Ecoangel LED Road Flares, try the following steps:

• Flare Not Turning On: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a power source and check if the charging indicator lights up. If not, try a different charging cable or power adapter.
• Flare Not Charging: Verify that the charging cable is securely connected to both the flare and the power source. Check the power source for functionality. Inspect the charging port on the flare for any visible damage.
• Light Modes Malfunctioning: Try turning the flare off and then on again. If the issue persists, ensure the battery is fully charged.
