SL-70 

2–3NM+ Solar Marine Lantern

Trouble Shooting

Problem

Remedy

Lantern will not activate.

•  Ensure internal toggle switch is set to the ‘ON position.

•  Ensure lantern is in darkness.

•  Wait at least 60 seconds for the program to initialise in darkness.

•  Ensure switch setting is on a valid code (See ‘

Flash Code

s’ section of 

this manual).

•  Ensure battery terminals are properly connected.

•  Ensure battery voltage is above 3.4volts.

Timing codes will not change.

•  Turn rotary switches several times to ensure contacts are clear.

Lantern will not operate for the 

entire night.

•  Expose lantern to direct sunlight and monitor operation for several days. 

Sealite products typically require 1.5 hours of direct sunlight per day to 

retain full autonomy. From a discharged state, the lantern may require 

several days of operational conditions to ‘cycle’ up to full autonomy.

•  Reducing the light output intensity or duty cycle (flash code) will reduce 

current draw on the battery.

•  Ensure solar module is clean and not covered by shading during the day.

Lanterns are constantly on 

during the day.

•  Ensure the flash code is not set to F F. This flash code is for testing 

purposes only and will be steady on for 24 hours a day.

Long Term Storage Instructions

If the SL-70 is to be placed in storage for an extended period, being more than 5 months, please follow the 

below steps.
1.  The 3.6V NiMH Battery must be stored in a fully charged condition.
2.  Remove the Flash Adjustment plug and turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
3.  Remove the battery cover and disconnect the Positive (+) Terminal.
4.  Fold the Terminal away from the Negative Battery Terminal.
5.  Replace the Battery Cover
6.  Replace the Flash Adjustment Plug.
All batteries will discharge over time and the rate of discharge is dependent on temperature. If the lantern is 

being stored in temperatures greater than 40°C the battery will discharge faster.
Please check battery every 3-6 months and recharge if necessary.

Recharging the Battery

1.  Remove the Battery Cover and connect the Positive Terminal.
2.  Remove the Flash Adjustment Plug and turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
3.  Reconnect the Light Head and place unit in the sun for 2-4 days
Or
Reconnect Light Head and place in front of a halogen lamp for 2-3 days. (Do not place the halogen light too 

close to the solar panel or the panel may be overheated)
Check the battery voltage regularly to make sure the unit is charging correctly. After the battery has been 

recharged, switch the lantern OFF.
