If your unit should become damaged by a severe impact, we recommend that you Contact Guest Company. (See last page) for technical support and parts information. If an operational problem occurs: 1. Confirm that all fuses are intact. If a fuse has blown, do not replace the fuse until the cause of the problem has been located and corrected. NEVER replace a blown fuse with a higher value fuse. 2. Most problems are caused by poor wiring connections. Confirm that all wiring connections are accurate and well made. The connections of the wires are important and should be soldered and then taped, or connected using weatherproof phone splices. Be sure that the spotlight is connected to a DC power source capable of supplying at least 12 volts at 10 amps even while other equipment is operating. 3. If the spotlight does not move or light: a. Observe the control panel. The Red light on the control should turn on whenever a button is pressed. If it does not, first check the (internal battery), if correct then replace the control panel. b. Disconnect the 12 Volt Dc power from the spotlight. Reconnect the 12-volt DC power from the spotlight. Press the “green” power button 2-3 times with in 5 seconds of applying power to the light. c. Remove the 4 bolts that fasten the spotlight onto the mounting surface and gently lift the unit until you can see inside its base. Avoid cutting any wires. Gently inspect the wiring inside the base for broken connections. Examine the circuit board for loosened plug connectors, blackened components or corrosion. Replace the circuit board if it appears damaged. If there are no 11

loose wires or signs of water penetration, re-install the spotlight and then replace the wireless remote (RF Transmitter). If there are signs of damage, contact the Guest Service Department for advice. Have available information about how and where the spotlight was installed. 4. If the spotlight moves properly but does not light, examine the halogen bulb. Replace it if it appears discolored or broken. If the bulb appears to be normal, test for a faulty relay by listening at the base of the light while someone else activates the bulb using the control. If no "click" is audible, or if a "chattering" sound is heard, replace the relay. Note: Low voltage or a faulty circuit board may cause similar symptoms. 5. If the spotlight will not move left or right but operates normally otherwise, listen at the base of the light while someone else presses the left/right directional buttons. If the lower motor makes no sound when it is activated, replace the lower motor. 6. If your light has a problem that is not described above, contact the Guest Service Department for advice.
