Designed to be maintenance free, the AV23 requires minimal attention, though the following

maintenance and servicing information is provided to help ensure the life of your Avlite product.

1. Cleaning Solar Panels - occasional cleaning of the solar panels may be required. Using a cloth and

warm soapy water, wipe off any foreign matter before rinsing the panels with fresh water.

2. Battery Check - inspection of batteries should be performed every three years (minimum) to ensure

that the charger, battery and ancillary electronics are functioning correctly. Using a voltage meter,

check that the battery voltage is at least 3.6 volts under 100MA load, and ensure all terminals are

clear of foreign matter.

The AV23 light battery compartment provides the user with the ability to change the battery after years of

operation.
