Pre-Installation

PLANNING INSTALLATION
Compare all parts in the package with the Package Contents list. Verify that all parts are included and that there is no damage. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact the Customer Service Team at 1-855-HD-HAMPTON or visit www.HamptonBay.com.

Choose an installation location where direct sunlight can be absorbed onto the face of the solar panel for as many hours as possible throughout the day. Shadows cast by homes, trees, and structures will restrict the charging of the batteries and affect the total hours of operation of the lights.

NOTE: The batteries come pre-charged but some discharge may happen during storage or transit.

HOW SOLAR WORKS
During daylight hours, the sun will charge the batteries in the solar panel and the lights will turn on at dusk. Light output depends upon how much light the solar panel receives. Position the solar panel so that it receives maximum sunlight. If there are streetlights or other lighting that could shine directly into or near the solar panel, these lights may trigger the light sensor and the lights may turn off. The solar panel must sense darkness to operate.

PACKAGE CONTENTS

Installation

Assembling the solar lights

• Insert the bottom of the solar light (A) into the top of the pole (B).
• Remove the ground stake (C) from the bottom of the pole (B).
• Insert the top of the ground stake (C) into the bottom of the pole (B).
• Repeat this step for each solar light (A), pole (B), and ground stake (C).

Preparing the solar panels

NOTE: To allow each battery to reach full capacity and perform correctly, pull out the plastic tab and place the solar light in full sunlight for the first 12 hours. Failure to do so can shorten the life of the battery or operation of the light. On cloudy or rainy days it may take several days for the batteries to fully charge.

NOTE: To protect the solar panel from damage, do not use force during assembly. Keep the plastic shades in the packaging until you need to install them.

• Twist off the top of the solar light (A) and remove the tab from the battery compartment (1) located on the underside of the solar panel top.
• Twist the top of the solar light back on.
• Repeat these steps for each solar light.

Installing the solar lights

NOTE: Do not use a hammer to install the ground stakes. This could cause damage to the solar lights.

• Prepare a hole in the ground for each solar light.
  Use a tool such as a screwdriver to prepare the installation hole to ensure that the hole is not larger than the ground stake (C).

• Insert the solar light assembly into the prepared hole.

Maintenance

REPLACING THE BATTERY

WARNING: Only use lithium rechargeable batteries with these solar lights. Do not mix battery types.

CAUTION: Do not use a smaller mAh battery as it will affect performance. Larger mAh batteries are acceptable. Ensure you have positioned the batteries with the correct polarity (+) and (-)

NOTE: Battery performance is affected by weather and temperature. Expect reduced performance in adverse conditions of cold, extreme cold, extreme heat, plus humidity and dampness.

• Twist off the top of the solar light assembly and remove the battery cover.
• Remove the old batteries and clean the battery contacts on the new batteries and the solar lights.
• Replace with new 3.2V 800 mAh 18500 Lithium rechargeable batteries.
• Replace the battery cover.
• Twist the top of the solar head back onto the top of the solar light assembly.

Care and Cleaning

• It is recommended that solar lights not be used in freezing conditions. Monitor weather and take solar items indoors for storage as needed. Keep snow or another buildup off the solar panels so that the batteries are able to recharge.
• Remove batteries from equipment that will not be used for an extended period of time.

Troubleshooting

over the top of the solar panel.
Check to ensure that the battery(s) are installed correctly and there is nothing blocking the battery terminals from making contact.
Check to ensure the solar panel is positioned to sense both daylight and night time. If bright lights shine near or into the solar panel, these lights may trigger the light sensor and the lights may turn off. Bright lights can act like daylight and keep the system from starting.
Batteries may need to be changed and vary by use, temperature, weather conditions, and heat. Replace the batteries with the exact same type of rechargeable batteries.
Ensure the batteries are fully charged. It is important to charge the batteries for 12 hours in full sun before usage. Cloudy or rainy days may require a longer charging time.
In some cases, you may have to open the battery compartment and “seat” the batteries correctly between metal clips as some dislodging may occur during the shipment. Also ensure the correct polarity (+) and (-).
Cloudy or rainy days generate far less charge on the solar panel and thus fewer hours of operation. Prolonged cloudy or rainy days can affect performance dramatically.
