• Make sure that the outer cover plate is clean, clear and unobstructed.
• Remove and inspect the auto-darkening filter making sure that the sensors and solar

The Auto-Darkening Filter is slow to darken
•
A RC O NE ® solar powered auto-darkening filters are designed to operate on very low voltage. If
the filter has not been used for a period of time, such as a day or more, the circuitry will enter
a sleep state. In the sleep state the battery can retain full voltage potential. It will awaken when
you test it or begin welding. For instance if the product is at shade 10, the first time it darkens
it will initially darken to perhaps shade 8 then transition to shade 10. Then after that it will
darken to shade 10 each and every time. Note: As long as you are wearing your helmet
with auto-darkening filter you are protected from UV/IR (ultra-violet/infrared) rays in
the dark and light state and every shade in between.
