Battery change
The operating time using 2 Alkaline batteries type AAA / Micro is about 100 hours.
Please use batteries of the brand Alkaline!
Please remove both empty batteries immediately!
Please remove both batteries in case of longer disuse (e. g. in the summer).
If your LEUCHTIE begins to lose its brightness, or if it switches itself off shortly after switching on, the
batteries are exhausted and need immediate replacing.
Replace the batteries in a clean, dry place and make sure that the LEUCHTIE is also clean and dry.
Always replace both batteries at the same time.
Your hands and the LEUCHTIE should be grease-free. (Optionally lightly dust your hands and the
tube with flour before starting!)
1. Pull both sides of the tube (one after another) by some slightly bending movements off, while
holding the silicon sleeve onto the battery compartment.
2. Remove the both old batteries.
3. Place the new batteries (Alkaline
Type AAA/Micro, no
rechargeable batteries!!!) into the
compartment while observing the
correct polarity as per illustration.

Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. Keep all batteries in a safe place, unaccessible to children and
dogs. If a battery is swallowed seek medical assistance from your vet or doctor immediately.
Dispose of used batteries responsibly and in accordance with your local recycling regulations.

Troubleshooting
If your LEUCHTIE is not working correctly, check the following:
Problem Possible cause Solution
Loose contact The contact between
the batteries and the
light tube has a poor
connection.
Check if the battery compartment is wholly put-on (the
transparent synthetic plug socket must disappear
completely). Check if the contact springs aren’t tipped
over and are pressing straight on the batteries.
No function The contact between
the batteries and the
light tube has a poor
connection.
Pull both sides of the tube (one after another) by
some slightly bending movements off, while holding
the silicon sleeve onto the battery compartment. Put
the tube straight into the battery compartment and fix
it all the way to the stop.
Batteries are inserted
inncorrectly

General care and safety
•Use the LEUCHTIE only for its intended purpose.
•Before the first use, make sure the LEUCHTIE is not too tight around the dogs neck, and that
it can be removed easily. If you have purchased a LEUCHTIE that is too tight, and you cannot
remove it, then you can pull it apart as per battery replacement instructions on page 3.
•Do not attach a lead to the LEUCHTIE and avoid holding your dog by the LEUCHTIE. Too
much force on the LEUCHTIE could cause the battery and other parts to fall out and get lost.
•The LEUCHTIE is not a dog-toy. If it is used inappropriately (for example being thrown,
chewed, tugged etc.) the LEUCHTIE could be irreparably damaged and or parts become lost.
If a battery or any other part are swallowed by your dog, you should seek advice from your vet
immediately.
•Do not let your dog play with the LEUCHTIE.
•Should your LEUCHTIE get accidently damaged replace the required parts before any further
use.
•During cleaning the LEUCHTIE or changing batteries avoid getting water inside. When fully
closed, the LEUCHTIE is well protected from moisture. Should there still be humidity internally
pull the tube off by slightly bending movements off the battery compartment and let both parts
dry over night.
•Do not expose the LEUCHTIE to temperatures in excess of 60˚C.
•Never dry the LEUCHTIE in a microwave. Microwave radiation will destroy the electronics.
•Clean the LEUCHTIE in warm water (maximum 60˚C) with a little soap or gentle detergent.
Do not use aggressive or solvent-based cleaners.
Cleaning
Clean the LEUCHTIE in warm water and soap or mild detergent if required. Do not use aggressive or
solvent-based cleaners. Be careful to avoid moisture getting into the battery compartment. If this
happens accidentally, take the light apart and allow it dry out overnight.
