TURNING ON/OFF
In "on" mode, the M550 LED turns on at night and off during the day. In "off" mode, the
lantern charges in sunlight, but the LED remains off. When turned on again, the lantern
activates at its last programmed settings (1 minute preview for daytime activations).
Option 1: Switched Models
Option 2 : IR Programmer
Set the switch to on or off

CHECKING BATTERY STATE OF CHARGE (SOC)

Using the IR programmer, enter:
or
Good battery
Charge battery
SOC > 75%
SOC 30 - 75%
If the battery is < 30%, Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) disables the LED, attempts to
charge the battery to a sustainable SOC. The LED is re-enabled once SOC is >30%.
AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL
During periods of sustained poor solar charging, Automatic Light Control (ALC) may
decrease LED intensity based on battery SOC and recent charging trends. When
solar charging returns to a sustainable level, ALC increases intensity back to the user
setting. ALC may be disabled to keep the lantern at a constant intensity.

BATTERY CHARGING
The batteries are best charged inside the lantern. The M550 can recharge 0 V or 0%
SOC batteries back to 100% SOC:
Summer sunlight
Winter sunlight
60 W incandescent lamp
and hold 4 seconds. The lantern
A commercial charger designed for 1.2 V AA batteries can also be used.
Do not use a battery charger with >370 mA charge rate. High charge rates
will over heat the batteries and cause internal damage.
CAUTION
Take care when charging using a lamp. Provide air circulation or a fan so that
lantern and batteries do not exceed max. temperature
0
CAUTION
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Low battery
The M550 comes with 3x AA industrial-grade, high-temperature NiMH batteries. The
SOC < 30%, LVD Active
M550 will only operate with all 3x batteries installed correctly. The lantern remembers
its settings even when the batteries are removed.
Other rechargeable AA NiMH batteries will not void your warranty. However,
shock, vibration, temperature, and optical performance may be limited.
CAUTION
To install batteries:
1.
Apply a thin coat of silicone lubricant to the large sealing
o-ring
2.
Install batteries noting their polarity
3.
Align top cover and assembly components; secure with

the provided screws. Do not over tighten!
FLASH CODES
Maximum effective intensity varies by flash code and color. "FL" is the flash duration (sec) and "EC" is an eclipse
High-power LED, >100,000 hrs lifetime
(sec). Intensities are IALA values (10th percentile) over a 360° horizontal measurement.

STORAGE
Turn the lantern off to store. In switched models, set the switch to the "off" position. To
turn off using the IR programmer, press and hold
•
If a lantern detects continuous dark for 24 hrs, it will disable the LED. Upon
sensing light, it will enable the LED and continue normal operation
•
Check the battery state of charge every 1 - 2 months and charge if required
•
High-grade NiMH batteries shipped with the M550 can be stored without any
charging for up to 12 months with no battery damage

MAINTENANCE
Although the M550 is maintenance-free, performance gains can be made. Clean with
water and a soft sponge or cloth. A mild non-abrasive cleanser can be used for more
stubborn residue. Clean more frequently during drier months as dust accumulates more

Charge the lantern or replace the batteries
Confirm with code 810 using IR programmer. Charge lantern or
replace batteries. Decrease eff. intensity to a sustainable level
Switch to on
Wait for the lantern to detect 2 min. of consistent "dark"
Move away from light source, turn off unneeded light, or shield
lanterns
Under bright sunlight, enter code 815 using the IR programmer:
1x flash= too low for charging, 2x flashes = solar panel is fine
Charge the lantern or replace the batteries
Move the IR programmer closer to the lantern
Ensure the vent on the bottom cover is not dirty or obstructed
Ensure the bottom cover o-ring is dry (no water) and lubricated
Ensure o-ring is not pinched and all screws are fully installed
