|---|---|
| Light does not turn on initially. | The light may be pre-charged, but if it does not work, long press the switch to activate it. If it still doesn't work, please charge it first. |
| Lights do not respond to the remote control. | Ensure the light's physical switch has been pressed to activate it. Try pressing the remote button multiple times. If the issue persists, replace the remote control batteries. |
| Auto-sensing function is not working as expected (lights stay on during day or don't turn on at night). | Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight for charging. Verify the auto-sensing function is activated by short pressing the 'Set' button on the remote until the light blinks red 3 times. If issues persist, try deactivating and reactivating the function. |
