6. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your ChunHee Solar Sound & Light Alarm, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Clean Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may obstruct sunlight and reduce charging efficiency.
- Check Mounting: Periodically inspect the mounting screws and bracket to ensure the device remains securely attached.
- Battery Life: The device uses a Lithium-Ion battery. While designed for long-term use, battery performance may degrade over time. Ensure regular charging to maintain battery health.
- Weather Resistance: The device is IP65 waterproof and dustproof, designed to withstand outdoor conditions. However, avoid submerging it in water or exposing it to extreme temperatures beyond its operating range.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ChunHee Solar Sound & Light Alarm, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Alarm not activating. | Low battery, incorrect mode selected, motion sensor obstructed. | Charge the device fully. Ensure the correct operating mode is selected. Clear any obstructions from the motion sensor. |
| Siren is too loud/quiet (no volume control). | The device has a fixed siren volume (129dB). | Consider placement further from residential areas if noise is an issue, or use flash-only modes. |
| False alarms. | Movement from trees/foliage, small animals, or strong winds. | Adjust the mounting angle or location to minimize detection of non-threats. Consider using night-only modes if daytime false alarms are frequent. |
| Device not charging via solar. | Insufficient sunlight, dirty solar panel. | Relocate the device to an area with more direct sunlight. Clean the solar panel. Use USB charging as an alternative. |
