PACKAGE CONTENTS
PLANNING FOR A SUCCESSFUL ASSEMBLY
- Read all instructions before assembly and installation.
- Inspect each part for defects that may have occurred during shipping.
- Keep your receipt and these instructions for proof of purchase.
- Designed for use on wood posts. These lights may not fit on alternative material posts.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION
Install your solar light in a location with full, direct sunlight. Do not
install in shaded areas as these areas will not allow the batteries to fully
charge and will reduce the nighttime operating hours for your light. Ensure
that the installation location is away from other nighttime light sources such
as street or porch lamps. These light sources may prevent your solar light
from automatically turning on.
HOW SOLAR WORKS
The solar light has a solar panel that converts sunlight into electricity.
During the day, the converted electricity is stored in the rechargeable
batteries. At night, the solar light is powered by the batteries using the
electricity stored during the day. The operating time depends on geographical
location, daily weather conditions, and season. For optimal performance during
the evening, allow the batteries to charge for 6 to 7 hours in direct
sunlight.

Maintenance
Replacing the battery
CAUTION: When replacing the battery, use one (1) 1000 mAh NiMH AA 1.2V
rechargable battery.
IMPORTANT: Dispose of the batteries in accordance with local, state, and
federal regulations.
NOTE: For best performance, replace with a rechargable 1.2V AA NiMH
battery of 1000 mAh or greater every 1.5 years or when performance
diminishes.
- Twist and remove the housing (D) from the top cover (A).
- Remove the battery cover (C). Replace the old battery with a fresh AA NiMH 1000 mAh rechargable battery

Charging the battery
- For optimum performance, it is best to install the solar light in full sunlight and let it charge for 6-7 hours.
- Allow the light to run at least 8-12 entire charging and discharging cycles to reach the maximum capacity of the battery.
Winter tips
- Keep debris and snow off the solar panel to allow the battery to recharge. If lights have been covered by snow for a long time, allow the battery to recharge in full, direct sunlight for at least 6-7 hours so it can maintain maximum capacity.
