Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a USB power source and check if the charging indicator illuminates. If fully charged and still not turning on, contact support.
Light not charging
Verify the Micro-USB cable is securely connected to both the light and the power source. Try a different USB cable or power source to rule out cable or adapter issues.
Dim or flickering light
The battery may be low. Charge the light fully. If the issue persists after charging, the battery may be nearing the end of its lifespan.
Mounting bracket feels loose
Ensure the rubber strap or band is tightened securely around the mounting surface. For the AMPP 200, check the 360° adjustment to ensure it is locked in position.
