Safety instructions for batteries/rechargeable batteries

DANGER TO LIFE! Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of reach of children. If accidentally swallowed seek immediate medical attention.
Swallowing may lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue, and death. Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion.
DANGER OF EXPLOSION! Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Do not short-circuit batteries/rechargeable batteries and/or open them.
Overheating, fire or bursting can be the result.
Never throw batteries/rechargeable batteries into fire or water.
Do not exert mechanical loads to batteries/rechargeable batteries.

Risk of battery leakage

Avoid extreme environmental conditions and temperatures, which could affect batteries/rechargeable batteries, e.g. radiators/direct sunlight.
If batteries/rechargeable batteries have leaked, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes with the chemicals!
Flush immediately the affected areas with fresh water and seek medical attention!
WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES! Leaked or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause burns on contact with the skin. Wear suitable protective gloves at all times if such an event occurs.
In the event of a battery leak, immediately remove it from the product to prevent damage.
Only use the same type of batteries/rechargeable batteries.
Do not mix used and new batteries/rechargeable batteries.
Remove the batteries/rechargeable batteries if the product will not be used for a longer period.

Risk of damage of the product

Only use the specified type of battery/rechargeable battery!
Insert batteries/rechargeable batteries according to polarity marks (+) and (-) on the battery/rechargeable battery and the product.
Use a dry lint-free cloth or cotton swab to clean the contacts on the battery/rechargeable battery and in the battery compartment before inserting!
Remove exhausted batteries/rechargeable batteries from the product immediately.

Functioning

The solar cell installed in the product converts sunlight into electrical energy and stores it in 1 Ni-MH rechargeable battery. Switch on the product with the ON/OFF switch 6 . The product will automatically light on as it begins to get dark. The LEDs are a very long-life and energy-saving light source. The light duration depends on the amount of sunlight, the angle of light on the solar cell and the temperature (the battery capacity is temperature-dependent). A vertical angle of light at temperatures above the freezing point is ideal. The rechargeable battery does not achieve maximum capacity until after several charge and discharge cycles.
In summer a completely drained rechargeable battery takes about 2 to 4 days to fully recharge in constant sunlight.

Preparing for use

Assembling of the product (see Fig. A)

HG07137A/HG07137C:

Take out the solar cell housing 2 from the glass jar 5 .
Note: Take care not to damage the LED light chain 3 .
Move the ON/OFF switch 6 to the ON position to enable the product switching on during darkness.
Put back the solar cell housing 2 into the glass jar 5 .
Your product is ready for use.

HG07137B:

Rotate the solar cell housing 2 anti-clockwise out of the glass jar 5 .
Note: Take care not to damage the LED light chain 3 .
Move the ON/OFF switch 6 to the ON position to enable the product switching on during darkness.
Insert back the solar cell housing 2 to the glass jar 5 and tighten it by turning it clockwise.
Your product is ready for use.

Setting up the product

Hanging up with the handle 4 or standing the product on garden, balcony or patio.
Note: Make sure before hand that the suspension point is suitable for the weight of the product including batteries (approx. 500 g (HG07137A)/approx. 475 g (HG07137B) / approx. 685 g (HG07137C)).
In order to achieve the best result, set the product up in a place where the solar cell will get direct sunlight for as long as possible.
Make sure that the solar cell is not influenced by any other source of light such as yard or street lighting as otherwise the product will not come on in twilight.
The product automatically switches on in twilight conditions and off again when normal outdoor lighting conditions return.

Replacing the rechargeable battery (see Fig. B)

The battery should be replaced every 12 months to ensure optimum performance.

HG07137A/ HG07137C:

Separate the solar cell housing 2 from the glass jar 5 . Move the ON/OFF switch 6 to the OFF position to switch off the product.
Take out the seal ring (HG07137A only) and screw out the screws 10 from the battery compartment 7 . Separate the battery compartment cover 8 from the battery compartment 7 . Take care not to damage the cables, cable connections and the LED light chain 3 .
Exchange the old rechargeable battery 9 to a new one, ensure that you do not damage the wiring. Take care of the correct polarity, when inserting the new rechargeable battery 9 . The polarity is indicated in the battery compartment 7 . The new rechargeable battery 9 has to have the same like the old one (see “Technical data“).
Now insert the battery compartment cover 8 into battery compartment 7 by screwing up the screws 10 . Insert back the seal ring (HG07137A only) and move the ON/OFF switch 6 to ON position to enable the product switching on during darkness.
Insert the solar cell housing 2 into the glass jar 5 .

Note: Pay attention to the seal ring. Protection class IP44 can only be guaranteed if the sealing ring is properly seated.

HG07137B:

Rotate the solar cell housing 2 anti-clockwise out of the glass jar 5 . Move the ON/OFF switch 6 to the OFF position to switch off the product.
Screw out the screws 10 from the battery compartment 7 . Separate the battery compartment cover 8 from the battery compartment 7 . Take care not to damage the cables, cable connections and the LED light chain 3 .
Exchange the old rechargeable battery 9 to a new one, ensure that you do not damage the wiring. Take care of the correct polarity, when inserting the new rechargeable battery 9 . The polarity is indicated in the battery compartment 7 . The new rechargeable battery 9 has to have the same like the old one (see “Technical data“).
Now insert the battery compartment cover 8 into battery com- partment 7 by screwing up the screws 10 . Move the ON/ OFF switch 6 to ON position to enable the product switching on during darkness.
Put back the solar cell housing 2 to the glass jar 5 .

Charging the rechargeable battery

Note that the product must be switched on when the battery is charging.
The charging time of the battery when the solar cell is used depends on the intensity of the sunlight and the angle of incidence of the light on the solar cell 1 . Place the solar cell as perpendicular as possible to the angle of incidence of the light. In this way you will receive the highest light levels.

Maintenance and care

The LEDs cannot be replaced.
The product is maintenance-free, except for any necessary change of battery.
Clean the product regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth. Use a slightly dampened cloth to remove more stubborn dirt.
