3. Clean the solar panel using a water spray, or a soft cloth and
soapy water followed by a clean water rinse.
4. Check the battery’s voltage with a voltmeter; the battery must
have at least 5.5 V to power the station. More than 6 V indicates
an adequately-charged battery.
5. Try exposing the kit (with console unplugged) to ample sunlight
for a week, or, use a charger designed to recharge a 6 V gel cell
battery. If you are unable to charge the battery above 6 V, replace
the battery.
