Common problems
Light switches off automatically
The unit may have exceeded its operating temperature. Allow it to cool down. Also, check if the battery is empty (the light flashes 3 times before switching off).
Battery charge indicator flashes
If the middle LED flashes, there is a fault in the work light; contact Bosch customer service. If all LEDs flash, the battery or light is outside the operating temperature range; allow them to cool down.
