PRE-INSTALLATION

The bulbs for the string lights may be packed separately. Remove the bulbs carefully from the box and insert into the string sockets. Screw tight to ensure a proper connection.
- a) Connect the solar panel to the connector on the string lights.
- b) Select ON on the back of the solar panel.
- C) The bulbs should now illuminate. Once the bulbs are all illuminated, turn the switch to OFF and continue with the installation.
Ensure your solar panel is placed so that its exposure to sunlight is optimized. Be aware of objects such as trees or property overhangs that may impede the panel’s ability to generate a charge
Prior to using your solar string lights, the solar panel needs sunlight for a period of three days. This initial charge should be done without the string lights connected or with the solar panel in the OFF position. After the third day, your included batteries will be fully charged.
- Note: The solar panel should be mounted in a place where the ON/OFF switch is easily accessible.

MOUNTING

MOUNTING THE SOLAR PANEL: THE SOLAR PANEL HAS TWO MOUNTING OPTIONS

MOUNTING BRACKET

If required use the two wall plugs (H) along with the two large screws (G). Install the screws utilizing the two outer holes of themounting bracket to secure the bracket to the chosen surface.
Insert the mounting base (D) onto the back of the solar panel (B). Use the includedsmall screw (F) to tighten the connection.
Slide the solar panel down onto the mounting bracket (E) until you feel and hear the connection click into place.
Adjust the solar panel to the desired angle to optimize sun exposure.
The angle of the solar panel can be adjusted to maximize sun exposure by loosening, adjusting and then re-tightening the side screw located on the solar panel’s protruding arm.
- Note: To disconnect the solar panel from the mounting bracket, press down on the release tab on the bottom of the mounting bracket. With the tab firmly pressed, slide the solar panel upwards and free of the bracket. Some force may be required to remove the panel from the bracket.
- GROUND STAKE
  To utilize the ground stake (C), connect the two parts of the stake together. The grooved section then fits into the protruding arm of the solar panel. The stake can then be used to mount the panel into the ground.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION OF THE SOLAR STRING LIGHTS

The solar string lights have a variety of possible ways to be mounted. The following are examples of the most common ways:

Temporary mounting: Using standard S hooks (not included) or screw hooks (not included) the solar string lights can be mounted utilizing the integrated mounting loops.
Permanent mounting: Using cable tie wraps or ‘zip ties’ (not included) or using nails or screws into a surface, the solar string lights can be mounted more permanently.
Guide wire installation: Using S hooks (not included attach the string lights to a pre-installed guide wire (not included).
Structural installation: To create a draping effect for the solar string lights attach the first bulb to a structure, then only mount every 3-4th bulb to create the desired effect. Complete the effect by mounting the last bulb to a structure.
The final step of installation is to connect the solar panel to the string lights. Simply insert the plug located after the final bulb into the wire coming from the solar panel. Tighten the plug by screwing the seal over the connection point Note: The solar string lights will illuminate for 4-5 hours depending on the charge level of the batteries.

OPERATION

After an initial 3 day charge in the OFF position the solar string lights are ready to use. Pull out the included plastic tab to activate the remote control’s (J) battery. When the solar panel is in the ON position the bulbs should illuminate. Simply press the button on the remote control to turn the bulbs off. Likewise when the bulbs are off press the button on the remote control to illuminate the bulbs. It is advisable to leave the solar panel in the ON position for regular usage. Turning the solar panel to the OFF position disengages the remote control and can be used when storing or for long periods of intended inactivity. AUTO, turns the lights on automatically at night. The solar string light’s batteries (I) are installed on the rear of the solar panel. Always open the battery compartment with the AUTO/ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Unscrew the back of the battery compartment and remove the backing piece. Inside you will see the batteries. When replacing the batteries, observe the correct polarity and match the battery specifications with the batteries you have removed. Use rechargeable batteries only. For this product use two rechargeable 18650 3.7V lithium-ion batteries. Replace the back of the battery compartment and continue to use the solar string lights as required.

WARNING: This product contains a button battery. If swallowed, it could cause severe injury or death in just 2 hours. Seek medical attention immediately.
3V, CR2025 lithium button battery (K) included.

Should you need to replace the included battery in the remote control locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote. Identify the small metal screw that holds the battery compartment closed. Remove the screw and follow the directional arrow on the remote to push open the remote and expose the battery. Replace the battery ensuring the right polarity is observed and ensure the replacement battery has the same characteristics as the one that has been removed.
