Melinera Z30717 - Manual (Page 17)

17 GB/MT
RISK OF INJURY! When
disassembling the product, also remove the
lower standpipe
3 so that it does not pose
any risk (e.g. stumbling over it).
Make sure that the solar cell 1 is not dirty.
This reduces the efficiency of the solar cell 1 .
The LED light bulb cannot be replaced.
Safety instructions for
rechargeable batteries
FIRE HAZARD!
Do not allow rechargeable batteries
to short-circuit. Otherwise the recharge-
able batteries may overheat, become a fire
hazard or explode.
RISK OF EX-
PLOSION! Never throw recharge-
able batteries into fire or water.
Chemical fluids that damage the product may
leak out of outdated or used rechargeable
batteries. Remove, therefore, the rechargeable
battery when the lamp is not required for any
length of time.
Use protective gloves! Leaky or
damaged rechargeable batteries
could cause chemical burns upon
contact with skin; that is why you should use
suitable protective gloves.
Only use rechargeable batteries of the right
size and of the recommended type (see section
on ”Technical data”).
Ensure correct polarity. This is indicated in the
battery compartment for the rechargeable
battery
6 .
Rechargeable batteries should not be disposed
of with domestic waste. Please dispose of used
rechargeable batteries in an environmentally
friendly way.
Always switch the product off before removing
or inserting the rechargeable battery.
Before assembly
The integrated solar cell 1 of the article converts
solar radiation into electrical energy and stores it in
the NiMH rechargeable battery. The light switches
itself on when it starts to get dark. The integrated
LED is an energy-saving illuminant with a very long
life. The burn time depends on the solar radiation,
the angle of incidence of the light falling onto the
solar cell
1 , and the temperature (due to the
temperature dependence of the capacity of the
rechargeable batteries). The ideal situation is a
vertical angle. Given the best conditions, a burn time
of 6–8 hours can be achieved. The rechargeable
battery will only achieve its maximum capacity
after several charging and discharging cycles.
Assembly
Insert the lower standpipe 3 into the upper
standpipe 5 (see Fig. A).
Unfold the solar casing 2 (see Fig. B).
Use the ground spike 4 to place the light with
into the ground (lawn, flower bed, etc.).
Note: Ensure that the product stands firmly in
place. Do not use any force when assembling
or setting up the product, e.g. hammer blows.
This damages the product.
Note: For the best results, put the light in a place
where the solar cell
1 is exposed to direct
sunlight for as long as possible. Do not put the
light under bushes, trees, canopies etc. as this
reduces the incidence of incoming sunlight.
Position the lamp in such a way that the solar
cell
1 is not covered or in the shade.
Note: Make sure that the solar cell 1 is not
near another source of light such as street or
garden lighting as the light will otherwise not
switch itself on automatically when it starts to
get dark.
