General safety precautions

Hazard from vapours or electrolyte fluid!
Vapours or electrolyte fluid may escape if the rechargeable battery is damaged or used improperly. Coming into contact with them may result in severe injury (e.g. loss of sight, acid burns).

Never open the rechargeable battery enclosure or the rechargeable battery itself.
Do not allow vapours or electrolyte fluid to come into contact with your eyes. In the event of contact with eyes:
- Do not rub your eyes.
- Immediately rinse eyes with plenty of clean water(such as tap water).
- Seek medical advice.
Do not touch any electrolyte fluid that has escaped.
Immediately move product away from naked flames or sources of heat.
Immediately remove contaminated clothing.

Hazard from LED light!

Looking directly into the LED light when it is ON could damage your retina.
Never look into the LED light at short range or for any prolonged period (> 5 minutes).
- The light must not be installed in explosive atmospheres.
- For trouble-free operation, choose an installation site that is not exposed to vibration or shock.
- Protect the solar panel from mechanical strain (e.g., tree branches).
- The product must not be modified or altered in any way.

Operation
Before using for the first time

Activate light by setting the programme selector switch to P2. The light stays in test mode for one minute before it starts to work in program P2.

Test mode
During the test sequence the light works in daytime mode. On detecting movement, the light switches ON for 1 minute with a stay-ON time of 10 sec. irre- spectively of light-level setting. The programme is automatically activated after this time elapses. The red LED stays ON all the time in test mode.
Setting the chosen operating mode by programme selector switch

P0: OFF (factory setting). Loads (LED panel and sensor) are deactivated.
P1: Sensor mode. Light only switches ON after receiving a signal from the motion detector.
P2: Sensor mode with basic light level. Light switches ON after receiving a signal from the motion detector.

Light permanently ON in the morning and evening hours at reduced basic light level.

Stay-ON time and brightness

Stay-ON time is determined when the light is used for the first time.
During the first night, basic lighting is switched OFF in the morning in programme 2.
Stay-ON time and brightness can be automatically matched to ambient conditions, e.g. stay- ON time is longer in summer than it is in winter.
Basic lighting level provides night-time illumination at approx. 3% light output. Light is switched to maximum output when movement is identified in the detection zone. The light then returns to basic lighting level (approx. 3%). The period basic lighting is provided for is matched to ambient conditions. Using basic lighting reduces light availability. If it is not needed, it is recommended to switch it OFF (P1) to ensure lighting availability in less sunny periods.

Charging the battery manually
The red LED in the motion detector flashes if battery capacity is too low (e.g. in poor weather). The battery can be recharged with a standard micro USB charging adapter (not included). Battery recharging can take up to 6 hours.

Risk of damage to property from penetrating moisture

When open, the micro USB charging socket (E) is not protected from the ingress of water.
Only recharge batteries in a dry room.
Connect micro USB charging adapter.
- Red LED flashes: charging in progress
- The LED may take up to 10 minutes to start flashing if the battery has run down to very low level.
- Red LED shows: battery is fully charged.
Remove micro USB charging adapter.
- Red LED goes out.

Risk of damage to property when light is not in use
If the light is not used for a prolonged period (e.g. in storage), the battery may suffer irreparable damage from exhaustive discharge.

Set programme selector switch to P0.
The battery must be on full charge before taking the light out of service.
Regularly charge the battery while the light is not in use.
