i.
Charging Mode
The green “Charge” light will flash whenever the battery is below the Full
Charge level and when there is sufficient solar power available to charge
the battery. This can occur whether the Power switch is in the “ON” or
“OFF” position. If the unit is placed in the sun with the Power switch in
the “OFF” position, it will take 5 minutes before the CHARGE light begins
to flash. If the switch is in the “ON” position, the CHARGE light will flash
as long as the battery is not fully charged and there is solar energy
available.
ii.
Not Charging Mode
The CHARGE light will only flash when sufficient solar power is available
to charge the battery. If it is not flashing, then the solar panels are not
collecting sufficient energy to allow charging to take place. If the unit is
in full sunlight and the CHARGE light is not flashing, it could be because
the battery if fully charged, in which case the CHARGE light should burn a
steady green. If the unit is not fully charged, leave the Solar-Breeze in the
sun for 5 minutes and check again. If it is still not flashing, refer to
“Charge Light Not Flashing” in the trouble-shooting section of this guide.
iii.
Full Charge Mode
When the green CHARGE light burns a steady green, this indicates that
the battery if fully charged and cannot accept additional current from the
solar panels. At this point, the charging process will stop until the battery
has been drawn down to a level where it can accept additional current.

Headlights and Taillights
The Solar-Breeze is equipped with blue LED headlights and taillights that flash at night.
These are provided for safety so that the unit is always visible in the pool. These lights
will flash whether the unit is operating or in Stand By mode.
9.
Cleaning the Debris Collection Area
The clear window provided on the top of the Solar-Breeze makes it possible to see when
the debris collection area is becoming full. When this occurs, simply turn the switch to
the “OFF” position and lift the Solar-Breeze from the pool using the front handle.
Remove the debris tray by sliding it out the front of the unit, and empty the tray and
collection area into a trash receptacle. We recommend that you also remove the white
plastic screen and wash off the filter mesh when you empty the tray. You may also
