Safety Information
READ BEFORE INSTALLATION AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Contains one 18650 rechargeable lithium-lon battery. Risk of
fire, explosion, or burns. Do not disassemble. Do not crush or damage the
battery. Do not heat or incinerate. Do not open or disassemble. Do not make
modifications to this product.
WARNING: RF Exposure. The equipment has been evaluated to meet general RF
exposure requirement. The device can be used in portable condition without
restriction.
WARNING: Dispose of used battery promptly according to local recycling or
waste regulations. Keep battery out of reach of children and its original
package until ready to use. Clean battery contacts and unit contacts prior to
installing new battery. Ensure that the battery is installed correctly with
regard to polarity (+ and -).
HOW SOLAR LIGHTS WORK:
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. During the day, while the sun
is shinning, electricity converted by the solar panel is stored in the
rechargable battery. At night, the solar light is powered by the battery using
the electricity stored during the day. The operating time depends on
geographical location, daily weather conditions and season.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION:
It is important to select a location with as much sunlight as possible. Shady
areas will not allow the battery to be fully charged and will reduce the
nighttime working hours. Be sure that the selected location is not close to
other nighttime light sources such as streetlights or porch lights. These
light sources may keep the solar lights from turning on automatically.
DUSK TO DAWN OPERATION:
This product is designed to only operate at night. The light wil remain off
during the day and turn on automatically at dusk and remain on for up to six
hours. NOTE: To make sure this function works properly, the switch must be in
the selected color position.

Operation with Remote (sold separately)
Operating with a OneSync remote allows for expanded control. Modify settings
of individual OneSync units or multiple units in groups. The OneSync remote
has a 100ft control range and will command all paired units within 100ft of
the remote. All OneSync units are equipped with a signal repeater that will
repeat any remote commands to all other units within 100ft. Placing units
within 100ft of at least one other unit creates a control network and allows
for unlimited remote control range, as long as there is a functioning OneSync
unit within 100ft to relay the command.
Example: You can install a OneSync unit, then another OneSync unit 100ft
away from the first unit. Continue to install 3 more OneSync units in this way
so that the last unit is 500ft away. Using this relay technology, the remote
will control the farthest unit that is 500ft away.
