Functions

Operating Instructions

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Tool Set Up

1. Decide where you want to place the Solar Light Set. Choose a location that receives full, direct sunlight a minimum of six hours a day. The location should not be near nighttime light sources such as porch lights or streetlights as this will cause the Solar Light Set to remain off.
   Note: During the day, the Solar Panel converts sunlight into electricity, recharging the battery. The amount of light the Solar Panel receives depends on placement of the Solar Light, geographic location and weather. If the weather is cloudy and the panel did not receive a full charge, the Solar Garden Light may not achieve the full hours of operating time. It will catch up on its own after two to three days of full sun.

2. Make certain that the path of the Stake (5) is clear of lines, cables and conduits.

3. Push the Stake (5) directly into the ground.

Charging

1. The Solar Light Set will need to charge for at least twelve hours before using it for the first time.
2. Set the Power Switch to “ON”.
3. Allow to charge for two sunny days before use.

General Operating Instructions

1. Move the Power Switch to “ON” to activate the Solar Light.
2. The Light will automatically turn ON during the night. After the initial charge is set, check to see that the Light (2) is on by viewing the light at night or in a dark location. If the Light (2) is not lit, check the position of the Power Switch and check that the Solar Panel has had full sunlight for 6 to 12 hours.
