ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS / INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Unpack the components carefully. Please check all parts have been removed from the packaging.

Before using first time
Allow solar panel to charge for at least 8 hours in full sunlight with the ON/OFF switch in the ON position. The ON/OFF switch is located under the solar panel. Once the batteries are fully charged, set the ON/OFF switch to ON. If the lights do not turn on after dark refer to Maintenance section.

Find an ideal Place for the Solar Light.
Place the solar light in an area where it will receive direct sunlight for at least 8 hours per day. The number of hours the light will illuminate is directly proportional to the hours of sunlight it receives. If the light is placed in a shaded area, it will not be able to fully charge and its illumination time will be limited. Do not place the light near other outdoor lighting like porch or streetlights. These may fool the sensor and keep the light from coming on, or cause it to turn off automatically

Caution: Locate where the lights will not create a trip hazard.
To easily insert stakes into the ground, it is recommended to wet the ground first. To avoid damaging garden stakes when inserting into the ground, select a spot in soft, rock-free soil. Insert the base of the stake first then gently insert the rest of the stake into the base. DO NOT push directly against the solar cell or the ornament housing containing the actual LED light.

Care and Maintenance Recommendations

1. Clean solar panel with a soft sponge every couple of weeks.
2. Make sure all connectors are still tight and no water getting in.

Troubleshooting

If the solar light does not turn on automatically at night, please check the following:

• Is the switch in the on position?

• Battery is not fully charged:
  Ensure the solar panel is positioned where it will receive plenty of direct sunlight. This item should not be placed in shady areas or the battery will not charge and the light will not function properly.

• Battery needs replacement:
  Replace the battery when the lights are no longer functional or are very dim during summer months.

• Loose battery:
  Sometimes the battery may become dislodged from the terminals and no contact is made. Make sure the battery is firmly in contact with the terminal at each end of the battery holder.

• Dirty Solar panel:
  A dirty solar panel will not allow the battery to fully charge. Clean the solar panel with a damp sponge, cloth or paper towel.

• Light does not turn on:
  The light is designed to switch on when it turns dark, if there are strong light sources nearby then the lights may be dim or not turn on.

Replacing Battery
The life of the rechargeable battery is approximately 6-12 months. When the light becomes dim or is no longer functional, it may be time to change the battery.

• Push the switch to the off position. Using a Phillips head screwdriver (not included), remove the screws on the underside of the panel.
• Take out the battery replacing with a new 1x AA 1.2V 300mAh Ni-MH rechargeable battery.
• Do not replace with a normal alkaline battery.
• Do not disconnect or remove any wires or tamper with any other connections inside or around the compartment.
• Replace the battery cover and screw back into place.
