ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS / INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Unpack the components carefully. Please check all parts have been removed from
the packaging.
Connect both parts and turn clockwise to lock.
To easily insert stakes into the ground, it is recommended to wet the ground
first. To avoid damaging garden stakes when inserting into the ground, select
a spot in soft, rock-free soil. Insert the base of the stake first then gently
insert the rest of the stake into the base. DO NOT push directly against the
solar cell or the ornament housing containing the actual LED light.
Before using first time
Allow lamp to charge for at least 8 hours in full sunlight with the ON/OFF
switch in the ON position. The ON/OFF switch is located under the solar panel.
Once the batteries are fully charged, set the ON/OFF switch to ON. If the lamp
does not turn on after dark refer to Maintenance section.
Find an ideal Place for the Solar Light.
Place the solar light in an area where it will receive direct sunlight for at
least 8 hours per day. The number of hours the light will illuminate is
directly proportional to the hours of sunlight it receives. If the light is
placed in a shaded area, it will not be able to fully charge and its
illumination time will be limited. Do not place the light near other outdoor
lighting like porch or streetlights. These may fool the sensor and keep the
light from coming on, or cause it to turn off automatically
Replacing Battery
If the light stops working after it has been used for a long time (about 18
months), the battery may be beyond its lifespan. Please open the cover of the
battery compartment to replace the rechargeable battery.
