Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the solar panel and the light's surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. This ensures optimal solar charging efficiency. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: If storing the lights for an extended period, ensure they are fully charged and store them in a cool, dry place.
- Battery: The lights contain a built-in Lithium Polymer battery. Do not attempt to replace the internal battery. For the remote control, replace the battery (if applicable, usually CR2025) when its range or responsiveness decreases.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient solar charge. | Ensure the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight for 8-10 hours during the day. Clean the solar panel if dirty. |
| Light is dim or only stays on for a short period. | Partial solar charge or aging battery. | Relocate the light to an area with more direct sunlight. If the issue persists after prolonged charging, the internal battery may be nearing its end of life. |
| Remote control is not working. | Remote battery is low or depleted; remote not pointed at light. | Replace the remote control battery (if applicable). Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the light, and point the remote directly at the light. |
| Light stopped working after a short period. | Possible internal fault or water ingress (unlikely due to IP68, but possible in extreme cases). | Ensure proper charging as described above. If the issue persists, contact Cootway customer support for assistance. |
