8. Utatuzi wa shida
| Tatizo | Sababu inayowezekana | Suluhisho |
|---|---|---|
| Chaja haiwashi. | Hakuna nguvu ya AC; sehemu ya kutoa umeme yenye hitilafu. | Check AC power connection. Test outlet with another device. |
| Red "Reverse Connection" LED is on. | Polarity isiyo sahihi ya betri. | Disconnect AC power, then reconnect RED to positive (+) and BLACK to negative (-). |
| Green LED is blinking but battery is not charging. | Poor connection to battery; deeply discharged battery. | Hakikisha clamps/terminals are securely connected. For deeply discharged batteries, it may take longer to initiate charging or the battery may be beyond recovery. |
| Chaja hupata joto wakati wa operesheni. | Operesheni ya kawaida. | Hii ni kawaida. Hakikisha kuna uingizaji hewa wa kutosha kuzunguka chaja. |
