Troubleshooting 

This troubleshooting guide contains solutions to problems which can be carried out by an ordinary 
person. The device does not contain user-serviceable parts. 

Unauthorized modifications to the device will render the warranty void. Such modifications may result in 
injuries and material damage. 

Refer servicing to instructed or skilled persons. Contact your Highlite International dealer in case the 
solution is not described in the table.
