 HOW TO USE IT

Insert or replace batteries

This product comes with 1 NI-MH rechargeable battery by solar unit. So you can directly use your product. Caution: The duration and intensity of the light may drop suddenly if the battery is old or defective.
In this case, it will be necessary to replace the batteries according to the instructions below:

• Unscrew the screws from the cover of each unit. Remove the glass and gasket and gently lift the solar panel.
• Replace used or defective batteries with new ones (1.2 V, at least 500 mA, Ni-MH rechargeable battery).
• When changing the batteries, ensure correct polarity (+/-)
• Close the lid of each tag correctly.
  Never use non-rechargeable batteries

Operation

• The battery has to be charged in direct sunlight for a whole day prior to first operation.
•  Connect the parts together as shown in the diagram.
• The solar panel on top of the device charges the integrated rechargeable battery.
•  Press the switch to one time to turn on the light, press the switch again to have flashing light
•  Gently push the stake into the ground. Place the solar panel properly so that it fully captures the sunlight and recharges optimally.
•  Due to the integrated light sensor, the device automatically turns on at dusk und automatically turns off again at dawn. To check the battery, please cover the upper part of the device, then it should turn on. Please note that the battery has to be charged first.

Warning

• Please ensure that the solar panel is placed in direct sunlight. We recommend southward orientation of the device.
• Make sure the solar panel is not placed in the shadow during the day: this will prevent the charging process.
•  Avoid areas close to an active light source at night such as streetlights that may prevent the solar collector from working properly.

Battery performance is lower at very cold outdoor temperatures. This could affect the luminous efficiency and performance of the product.

SOLAR FUNCTION

• By converting sunlight into electricity, the solar panels charge the built-in battery during the day and automatically turn on the lantern at dusk. The number of hours of illumination depends on the duration and intensity of the sunlight during the day.
• Leave the device running continuously for better results
• Keep the solar panel clean.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Clean the product only with a dry or slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the unit.
Regularly clean the solar panel with a soft slightly damp cloth.

Storage

Take the battery out of compartment and store the device at a dry, frost free place if you intend not to use the device for a prolonged period of time.

The European directive 2012/19/EC about electronic and electric waste, requires that you can’t throw away defective domestic appliance with common waste. Used device has to be collect separately to optimize the recuperation rate and the recycling of the materials to reduce the impact on the health and the environment.

Precision and precautions about the battery use

Throwing away a used battery in the environment or with household waste pollutes and avoids the recuperation of reusable materials. It is important to limit the battery consumption and to respect the following rules:

• Favor alkaline battery (last longer than saline battery) and when it’s possible use rechargeable battery.
• Leave used batteries and accumulators in adapted containers that you can find in some retailers. In that way, metals don’t pollute the environment and the health.
• Battery has to be inserted by respecting the polarity show on the apparel and the battery. An incorrect positioning can damage the apparel, cause leaking and even provoke fire and the explosion of the battery.
• To assure a good functioning, battery has to be in a good condition. If there is a problem, put new battery.
• Never try to recharge battery not made for this. It could leak, warm up, cause fire or explode.
•  Replace all the battery at the same time. Never mix up alkaline battery with saline battery.
•  Used battery has to be removed.
•  Also, remove the battery if you’re not using the apparel for a long time.
•  Never try to short-circuit the terminal of a battery.
•  Never throw away the battery in fire because they can explode.
• Take out the accumulator from the apparel before reload it.
•  We recommend that an adult watch if a child change the battery to respect those rules.
•  If you swallow a battery, go immediately to your doctor or the hospital.
•   For the best ongoing performance, we recommend using only fresh, high-quality, alkaline batteries.
