E. TROUBLESHOOTING
If the LED does not light up or the motor does not run when you slide the switch:
• Check that your batteries are fresh or freshly charged.
• Check that the bare metal ends of all the wires are all touching the metal of the terminal caps.
If the motor runs but the reflectors do not spin:
• Make sure the pulley belt runs through the channels on the two pulleys.
F. HOW IT WORKS
The motor turns the small pulley, which turns the large pulley with the pulley belt. The difference in size of the pulleys means that the
large pulley turns more slowly than the motor. The large pulley turns the reflectors. When the reflectors are behind the LED, you can see
the light from the LED itself, and each reflector reflects the LED's light towards you as it is directly opposite your eyes. This makes a
series of four quick flashes. When the reflectors are in front of the LED, the LED and it's reflections are hidden from you. Whichever side
of the light you stand you still see the four quick flashes and then darkness, over and over again.
G. Fun facts
•This emergency light makes flashes by covering and uncovering the LED. Other emergency lights flash by turning the LED on and off in
quick succession.
•All emergency vehicles (police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, and breakdown trucks) need flashing lights to warn people in vehicles and
pedestrians of their presence.
• Flashing lights are easier for our brains to detect than steady lights, so they attract our attention better.
• Emergency vehicles use sirens as well as lights to attract our attention, in case they are approaching from behind us.
• Unmarked police cars carry a magnetic emergency light that can be attached to the car’s roof.
• A flashing emergency light can be seen from many kilometres away.
• Emergency vehicles use red or blue flashing lights (or both). This makes them look different to white or yellow street lights, or the
yellow flashing lights on construction vehicles.
• Lighthouses use rotating mirrors and lenses to send out a bright beam of light across the sea. Different lighthouses make different
patterns of flashes so that seafarers can identify them.

7. Clip the reflector holders (J) onto the large pulley (F).
8. Align the slots on the cover (B) with the tabs on the base, then push the cover into the base and rotate it to lock it in place.
9. Secure the cover with the washer screw (O).
10. Insert two 1.5-volt AAA batteries into the battery case, making sure the battery terminals are the correct way round. Install the battery
cover (I) and secure it with a screw (N).
11. Put the sticker (L) for decoration.
12. Slide the switch to the ON position. The reflectors will spin and the light will start to flash.
1. Turn the base (A) upside down and insert the motor pulley-end (D) first into its slot. Install the motor cover (E) and secure it with two
screws (N).
2. Turn the base upright again. Place the large pulley (F) on the centre spindle and secure it in place with the pulley cap (G).
3. Slot the LED holder (C) into the pulley cap (G), carefully feeding the wires through the central hole.
4. Push the bare metal ends of the three black wires into one of the terminals and secure them with a terminal cap (M). Check that the
bare metal of each wire is touching the metal of the terminal. Repeat with the three red wires in the other terminal.
5. Stretch the pulley belt (H) around the large pulley and the pulley on the motor.
6. Apply the reflective stickers (K) to the inner faces of the reflector holders (J). There are two stickers for each holder.
