ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS / INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Unpack the components carefully. Please check all parts have been removed from
the packaging.
Before using first time
Allow light to charge for at least 8-12 hours in full sunlight with the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. The ON/OFF switch is located under the solar panel.
Once the batteries are fully charged, set the ON/OFF switch to ON. Ideally
align the solar panel to face the midday sun to maximize charging.
NOTE: The solar panel is located on the base as indicated by a circle.
Find an ideal Place for the Solar Light.
Place the solar light in an area where it will receive direct sunlight for at least 6 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: Install the lights where they will not create a trip hazard or cause an obstruction.
Replacing Battery
If the light stops working after it has been used for a long time (about 6-12 months), the battery may be beyond its lifespan.
- Push the switch to the off position.
- Using a screwdriver, remove the 4 screws and take out the batteries replacing them with a new 200 MAH Ni-MH 1.2V AAA rechargeable 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 into place.
Trouble shooting
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 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 light may be dim or not turn on.
Care and Maintenance Recommendations
- Clean solar panel with a soft sponge every couple of weeks.
- Make sure all connectors are still tight and no water getting in.
- For long-term storage, charge the battery for 2-3 days before removing the battery pack and storing the light and battery in cool, dry environment.
