  Overheating, fire or bursting can be the result.

• Never throw batteries/rechargeable batteries into fire or water.

• Do not exert mechanical loads to batteries/ rechargeable batteries.

Risk of leakage of batteries/rechargeable batteries

• Avoid extreme environmental conditions and temperatures, which could affect batteries/ rechargeable batteries, e.g. radiators/direct sunlight.
• If batteries/rechargeable batteries have leaked, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes with the chemicals! Flush immediately the affected areas with freshwater and seek medical attention!

Functioning

The solar panel (9) installed in the product converts sunlight into electrical energy and stores it in the rechargeable battery.
The product will automatically light on as it begins to get dark. The LEDs are a very long-life and energy-saving light source. The light duration depends on the amount of sunlight, the angle of light on the solar panel (9) and the temperature (the rechargeable battery capacity is temperature-dependent).
A vertical angle of light at temperatures above the freezing point is ideal. The rechargeable battery does not achieve maximum capacity until after several charge and discharge cycles.
In summer a completely drained rechargeable battery takes about 2 to 4 days to fully recharge in constant sunlight.

Before use

Note: Remove all packaging materials from the product.

Installation (see Fig. B + C)

1. Push the ground spike (3) into the ground spike attachment (2) .

2. Slide the solar panel housing 1 over ground spike attachment 2 if this has not been pre installed.

3. Push the ground spike (3) far enough into the ground (lawn, flower bed) so it is firmly positioned upright in the ground.

4. Make sure it is firmly positioned. Do not use any force when assembling or setting up the product, e.g. hammer blows. This will damage the product. For optimal results, set up the product in a location where the solar panel (9) is exposed to sunlight for the longest possible amount of time. Do not put the product under bushes, trees, canopies etc. as this reduces the incidence of incoming sunlight. Position the product in such a way that the solar panel (9) is not covered or in the shade.
   Note: Make sure the solar panel (9) is not impacted by other light sources, e.g. yard- or street lighting, or the product will not switch on at twilight.
   Note: The solar panel (9) can be adjusted to desired position (see Fig. C) by loosen and re-tighten the fasten screws 8 accordingly.
