MAIN INSTALLATION AND BEST LOCATION POSITION

NOTE:
During the first use of the product, place the product in a place with sufficient direct sunlight for first charging at a minimum time for 8 hours in the OFF position!

When the lamp is in a location that receives less sunlight, it will operate for fewer hours per night. Night lighting time can also vary depending on how bright the sky is on any given day. Insufficient charging of the battery will affect performance and may result in the fact that the lamp goes off before dawn because the battery was not fully charged.

The solar panel is best directed as much as possible towards the south in order to maximize exposure to direct sunlight. Please note that the four different seasons (and the sun’s angle in these 4 different seasons ) can affect the lighting time of the lamp. Winter time will make the solar panel charge the internal battery less than during summer time.
Select a location that is not located close to other light sources, such as for example street lighting, because this enables the lamp to be switched off automatically.
Maximum lighting time depends on sunlight and daytime charging. Minimum charging time is 5~8 hours in direct sunlight.

NOTE:
During winter time or when the sunshine duration is short, it is suggested using the solar lamp under mode 1.

• Choose a stable, solid and supportive surface and make sure the lamp is mounted and faced towards the direction of the sun (most south location). Mounting height is 2~3 meters.
• Use the lamp 2 hole’s to measure the size distance and mark the correct screw positions.
• Drill in the wall (if needed) and screw the lamp onto the wall using the supplied wall expansion plugs and screws.
• This lamp is intended only for outside use.
  Ps. you can try other ways to install it depending on the actual condition. But do not keep the solar panel upside down in anyway, otherwise it will affect the effect of solar charging at daylight.

NOTE:
If there’s sunlight or other lights on the solar panel, the lamp will not be ON even if the ON/OFF switch has been turned ON. During testing, other object (hand or arm) should be used to cover the complete solar panel, then the lamp will be ON after turning on the ON/OFF switch. Actual range of the motion detection sensor <8 meter depends on mounting height as shown in the illustration.

OPERATION AND BUTTON MODE USE

The solar lamp has 3 lighting modes, which can be selected using the ON/OFF button:

1. MODE 1: FULL LIGHT ON/OFF
   Press the ON/OFF button 1x to select mode 1. The lamp will turn ON automatically at night at full light (100%) when motion is detected in the detection range.
   About 20 seconds after the last motion has been detected the lamp turns OFF.

2. MODE 2: FULL LIGHT + DIM ON
   Press the ON/OFF button a 2nd time to select mode 2. The lamp will work the same as Mode 1 but after about 20 seconds after the last motion has been detected it turns to 15% of light and keeps on working till the morning time or till the battery is empty.

3. MODE 3: DIM ONLY (NO MOTION SENSOR DETECTION)
   Press the ON/OFF button a 3rd time to select mode 3. The lamp will turn ON automatically at night with a dimmed light (15%) and keeps on working like that till the morning time or till the battery is empty and the motion sensor is not working.

4. OFF
   If you press the ON/OFF button again, the lamp is turned OFF completely. The solar cells will charge the battery without activating the lamp. Leave the lamp in this position for at least 2 or 3 sunny days so the battery can be fully charged before using it!

NOTE/WARNINGS:

• When the product will not be used for a long time, please place the product in a place with sufficient sunlight, with a charging time for at least 1 – 3 day’s in OFF position. For keeping the function of the battery, you’d better comprehensively charge the product in a place with sufficient sunlight for once a month.
• The charging time and charging efficiency of the solar panel may be affected by the weather and the installation position. Considering the conversion rate of solar power generation, if the product is used with good sunny weather conditions, it will gain higher charging efficiency and effectiveness by the solar panel and it’s battery.
• When there’s sunlight and other lights and if the power switch is OFF, the LED lamp will not be lightened in day and night time.
• The solar lamp should be installed in the place with sufficient sun light to ensure the solar panel will absorb sunlight sufficiently, so that the working hours of the solar lamp will be prolonged.
• If snow is on top of the solar panel please remove it at all time’s so the battery can be charged correctly by the panel.
• This solar light is only used for private use.

SECURITY AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE

When the product is installed in or to a tree, make sure that it is installed on stable and maintained branches.
When disassembling, carefully remove the product from its location (trees, bushes, etc.) to avoid any pressure on the Solar Light that could damage the component elements.
In case of non-use, store the product in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight.
If snow is on top of the solar panel please remove it at all time’s so the battery can be charged correctly by the panel.

CAUTION:
NON-Replaceable LED lights!

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS IF THE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK

Light does not turn on if something or someone moves into the detection range?

• The motion sensor is clean (if not, please clean it).
• The solar panel is clean (if not, please clean it).
• The solar cell was mounted so that it is able to receive as much as possible direct sunlight during the day.
• The battery is sufficiently charged (if not, leave for 1~2 sunny days charging in the OFF position).

Light flashes or low light?

Weak battery: Let the lamp charge again for 1~2 sunny days (or 3~4 “Ordinary” days) in the OFF position.

For best results, you need to replace the battery every 24 months. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the housing using a screw driver to remove the screws.
Delete the old battery. Make sure the new battery is rechargeable and is an 1x 3.7V Li-Ion 2200 mAh rechargeable battery also available at www.flinqproducts.nl.
Install the new battery and take care of the proper connection. Close the battery compartment with the screws and make sure the sealing is done properly.

CLEANING THE DEVICE ITSSELF

• Make sure the solar panel is kept dust free and clean. Clean it regularly with a dry cloth and with warm, soapy water. Dirty solar panels may not fully charge the battery. This can lead to premature aging of the battery and may result in unreliable operation of the device.
• Please do not immerse the main unit in water, it is not waterproof!
• Wipe gently with a clean soft cloth (microfiber) dampened with water or a mild detergent.
• Do not use a strong irritant lotion such as gasoline, alcohol or rubber water.
