TROUBLESHOOTING

If your solar light does not come on as expected despite observance of all the instructions, please try the following steps:

1. Make sure that the solar lamp is not being affected by any other light source.
2. Ensure the solar lamp is not positioned in the shade during the day.
3. Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
