POSITION
Solar Lights work by using electricity generated by the solar panel to charge internal
batteries. These batteries are then used to power the light. When switched on the lights
automatically illuminate at night by using a light sensor. The duration of illumination will
depend on the amount of sunlight and therefore charge received by the batteries.
Solar Top
Cylinder
Spike
For use when
staking directly
into the ground
Position to receive the maximum amount of sunlight.
Do not position under a light as this will prevent the light from switching on at night.
FIRST USE
Although there may be some charge left in the battery we
recommend fully charging it before first use. Leave the switch in
the off position for 2 sunny days to ensure the battery is fully
charged. Once fully charged switch to on, the light will automatically
illuminate when it gets dark. You can cover the solar panel to test
that the light is operating.
ON/OFF
Note: Other battery
compartment is not used
Rechargeable batteries become less efficient with repeated charge-discharge cycles and
the battery capacity reduces. If you find that the battery appears to be less efficient or
does not run for long we suggest you first try to boost charge it. Switch off for 3 to 5
sunny days to allow the maximum charge to the battery. If after this boost charge your
battery still does not perform to expectations you should replace it. All our batteries are
covered by a 1 year warranty.
To change the battery open the left compartment as shown, remove the existing
battery and replace with a new one. Only use Ni-MH or Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries.
Please ensure that the battery is disposed of according to local regulations.
