Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance and appearance, clean your KTV Drive+ light regularly. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the body and lens. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the light's finish or lens optics.
Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge the light when the low battery indicator appears. If storing the light for an extended period, charge it to approximately 50% every few months.
Waterproofing
The KTV Drive+ is IPX7 waterproof, meaning it can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Ensure the USB port's rubber cap is securely closed before exposing the light to water or wet conditions to maintain its waterproof integrity.
Troubleshooting
- Light Not Turning On: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a USB port for charging.
- Light Not Charging: Verify the USB stick is fully inserted into a powered USB port. Try a different USB port or cable.
- Short Runtime: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Battery performance can decrease over time with repeated charge cycles. Operating in high lumen modes will naturally result in shorter runtimes.
