This product is an light product. It is developed for giving light in outdoor area use. Read and follow the instructions contained in this manual carefully. Keep these instructions at a safe place for future reference or give to third parties. IP X5: Only for outdoor use. Never immerse this light under water. The operating life of the product will be less if the ambient temperature is higher than 45°C or lower than -10°C.

Note
During the first use of the product, charge by the TYPE-C USB charge cable (included) or place the product in a place with sufficient direct sunlight for first charging at a minimum time for 2~3 days in the OFF switch position! When the sky is overcast, this period should be extended.

When the lamp is in a location that receives less sunlight, it will operate for fewer hours per night. Night lighting time can also vary depending on how bright the sky is on any given day. Insufficient charging of the battery will affect performance and may result in the fact that the lamp goes off before dawn because the battery was not fully charged. The solar panel is best directed as much as possible towards the south in order to maximize exposure to direct sunlight. Please note that the four different seasons
(and the light angle in these four different seasons) can affect the lighting time of the lamp. The solar light will work longer in summer then during winter time and will make the solar panel charge the internal battery less, or even not at all, than during summer time. Your solar lights will produce more hours of operation when installed in an area which is free from cover, shade or shadowing. Due to low sunlight intensity, and severe weather such as cloudy rain in autumn and cloudy snow in winter, the total lighting time in these months will be reduced. Select a location that is not located close to other light sources, such as for example street lighting, because this enables the lamp to be switched off automatically. Maximum lighting time depends on sunlight and daytime charging. Minimum charging time is 7 ~ 9 hours in direct sunlight. If snow or ice is on top of the solar panel please remove it at all time’s so the battery can be charged correctly by the panel.

Note
During winter time or when the sunshine duration is short, it is suggested to switch to power OFF and charge when sunlight is available before power ON again

Note
If there’s sunlight or other lights on the solar panel, the lamp will not be ON even if the ON/OFF switch has been turned ON. During testing, other object (paper board, hand or arm) should be used to cover the complete solar panel, then the lamp will be ON after turning on the ON/OFF switch (and/or switched ON by APP). Select a location that is not located close to other light sources, such as for example street lighting, because this enables the lamp to be switched off automatically when set in AUTO ON setting (by APP).

Battery warning note

New batteries must be recharged and discharged 3 ~ 5 times before their full function use time is released. Charge indoors only at room temperature and only under supervision during daytime. Disconnect from the charger when the battery is fully charged, as overcharging
can shorten battery life. Lithium batteries should only be charged with constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV). When not in usage, the charge in a fully charged battery slowly disappears. Do not place the product near a heat source or expose it to direct sunlight, dust, moisture, rain or mechanical impact. Try to keep the battery temperature between 0°C and 45°C at all times. If the battery is too hot or too cold, the product may not work temporarily, even if it is fully charged. Do not attempt to charge the device when the battery is damaged. Never insert metal objects
in any opening of the (USB) charging port. The rechargeable battery is built into the device and can be replaced. Do not throw the battery into the fire, otherwise it may explode. Batteries may also explode if being damaged, please handle and disposal it according to local conditions and regulations. After 3 months long storage, need to completely discharged and recharge for at least 80%. The battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not disassemble, short contacts, heat above 60°C (140°F), or incinerate. Keep away from children. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in fire.

• Ensure that the device do not come into contact with heat sources, hot objects or naked flames.
• Do not attempt to charge the device when the battery is damaged.
• Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme conditions. If the liquid gets on the skin, wash it immediately with soap and water. If the liquid gets into the eyes, flush them directly with clean water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

Pay attention

• Please note that the charging port of the device should not have water infiltration. Otherwise, it will cause a product failure.
• Do not charge or store the product in a place below 0gr or above 40gr, otherwise the product performance will be reduced.
• It is a normal phenomenon that temperature of the charger rises during charging.
• The product should be charged as soon as it is working to a low battery level; it is forbidden to leave the product for a long period of time when the battery is low, which may cause the lithium battery to over discharge and fail to charge normal!

Operation and button use

• Charging mode
  Charge Fully before the first use! Use only the supplied USB-C to USB-A charge cable and connect it with the TYPE-C charge input connection. You can use any available USB power source / adapter with 5V DC 1A (1000mA) minimum power. The full charging time is approximately 2-3 hours for the lamps internal battery. The RED led light is indicating that the lamp is being charged. When the RED led is OFF and GREEN is ON it means the battery is fully charged. Remove charging cable from the device when ready and disconnect the source/adapter from the mains power socket. The normal use time is up till 24 hours when the batteries are fully charged but depends on the settings, use, position way, PIR settings ON/OFF, light color mode and other settings etc. This use time is tested based basic use/settings (factory standard settings).

Battery status
Battery level can be checked by the FLINQ app at all times (except when empty).

On and off button

Light on
Push the ON/OFF button to ON to activate the lamp and the RED led indicator will turn on. The lamp will turn ON automatically at sunset/night and will go OFF during sunrise/day (or when the battery is empty) and is done automatically by the internal light and motion sensor inside the solar panel and front of the lamps motion sensor.

Light off
If you push the ON/OFF button to OFF again, the lamp is turned OFF completely and green led indicator is off. The solar cells will charge the battery without activating the lamp (red light ON). Leave the lamp in this position for at least 2 or 3 sunny days so the battery can be fully charged before using it or when not in use for longer period of time’s to protect the battery or charge it by USB adapter with Type-C USB cable and connection.

Mode
When powered ON by the ON button the default factory setting mode is “auto motion detection sensor mode”. We suggest this mode to use at all times for the most convenient use of this lamp as it stays off and charge up during daytime and will be ON at night/evening. When press the MODE button 1x the lamp will go into “manual” mode, this means the lamp will be always ON (without motion detection sensor) at all times and it will be only OFF when switched off by app or when the battery is fully empty. When press the MODE button for 2nd time it will cancel the “manual” mode and switch off the lamp completely.

Note
When the “manual mode” is selected to turn on the light, the auto motion detection sensor and solar light sensitivity sensor cannot control the light. This means you need to turn OFF the light through the “manual mode ON/OFF button” inside the APP, or switch the mode back to turn OFF the light through the “mode” button on the product.” When press MODE button again it will go back into “auto motion sensor mode”.

Tip
During solar charge the red charging indicator will be ON if there is enough sun received by the solar panel. When the red light is OFF and GREEN is ON it means the battery is fully charged. Battery level can be checked by the FlinQ app.

Auto motion detection sensor use
You can change the motion detection sensor settings inside the app, like sensor distance, time, sensitivity to make it convenient in your own personal use and location setting where the lamp will be used. Try several settings to see what is the most favorable setting to use.
