Troubleshooting Q&A

Question / Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
LED is flashing red/green	Low battery voltage	Ensure solar panel is clean and in full sun. Check for shading.
No shock on the fence	Short circuit, broken wire, poor ground	Walk fence line for breaks/contact with grass. Improve earth grounding.
Unit not powering on	Battery completely discharged or faulty	Charge via external 12V source if possible. Test/replace battery.
Weak shock	Vegetation shorting, long fence, inadequate ground	Clear vegetation. Add more ground rods. Consider a second unit for long fences.
LED not lighting at all	Internal fault or dead battery	Contact Jacksons Fencing support for diagnosis.
