SETTING UP
- The product should not be located near other light sources such as street lights or other lamps so that the LEDs (6) can be switched on automatically.
- Place the product in a location where the solar panel (7) can absorb direct sunlight all day long if possible. Place on a dry, raised and level surface.
- Either use the clip (4) to fix the product to balcony railings, branches or somewhere similar or use the ground spike (3) to anchor it in the ground.
Clip
Plug the lamp head (5) onto the clip (4) and fix the lamp in a suitable place.
Ground Spike
- Plug the lamp head (5) onto the stem (2).
- Pull the ground spike (3) out of the stem and reinsert it the other way round.
- Plug the ground spike into the soil.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
- Twist the solar unit (1) anticlockwise to release it from the lamp head (5) and take it off.
- The On / Off switch is located on the base of the solar unit. Set this to the ON position to switch on the product.
- Place the solar unit back into the lamp head and twist it clockwise to fix it in place. When you do this, make sure that the locking lugs of the solar unit fit in the corresponding recesses of the lamp head.
- To check in daylight whether the product is switched on, cover the solar panel with your hand. If the LEDs (6) light up, the product is switched on.
- If the product is switched on, the battery can be charged in daylight. When darkness falls, the LEDs switch on automatically. When it becomes light, the LEDs switch off and the battery is charged via the solar panel (7).
- When not in use, switch off the product by setting the On / Off switch to the OFF position. Please Note: The battery performance may be severely restricted in temperatures well below freezing.
CLEANING
- Keep the solar panel (7) clean so that the greatest possible absorption of light is ensured. Wipe down the solar panel (and the other components of the product if necessary) with a damp cloth.
- Do not use any caustic or abrasive cleaning agents to clean the product! They could damage the surface.
- When it is not in use, store the product in a dry, clean place which is out of the reach of children and animals.
DISPOSAL
Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly manner so that it can be recycled. (Rechargeable) batteries must not be disposed of along with the domestic waste. Consumers are legally obliged to dispose of (rechargeable) batteries separately. (Rechargeable) batteries can be handed in free of charge at a collection point of the local authority/ district or in retailers so that they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way and valuable raw materials can be recovered. If they are not disposed of properly, toxic ingredients may escape into the environment and cause harm to the health of humans, animals and plants. Only hand in (rechargeable) batteries when they are discharged. If possible, use rechargeable batteries rather than single-use batteries.
The adjacent symbol (crossed-out bin underlined) means that used devices should not be disposed of in the domestic waste, but should instead be taken to special collection and return systems. Owners of used devices must remove from the used device any used batteries or rechargeable batteries which are not encapsulated by the used device and can be removed in a non-destructive way and dispose of them separately (see the section on battery disposal). Owners of used devices from private households can take them free of charge to the collection points of the public waste disposal authorities or the disposal points which are set up by manufacturers and distributors under the Electrical Equipment Act. Businesses which market electrical and electronic devices are also obliged to take back used devices.
