Troubleshooting
•
If one of the movement LEDs (C) is lit but the device is not moving, something is stuck. Ensure there
are no obstructions. Unplug the external switch (D),
charge it fully and then try again. If this doesn’t
solve the problem, contact the supplier.
•
If the unit becomes slow or does not move the battery needs to be charged.
•
If the charger is plugged in but the charging LED (G) is not lit, the battery may be very flat. Try waiting
for half an hour. If it remains unlit, the battery may need replacing, this is standard for lithium ion
batteries which have an expected life of 3 years. A new battery pack and replacement service is from
your Neater supplier.
