Solar Light Location
It is important to mount your solar lamp post in a spot where it will receive maximum sunlight throughout the day. Shadows cast by your
home, trees, vines and other structures will effect the amount of sunlight received, so please consider this before deciding on a location.
Operations
Your solar light is programmed to turn on automatically at night.
Maintenance
Clean the solar module regularly with a damp towel to guarantee optimum performance of the solar panel. Do not use any type of solvent
for cleaning and be careful not to put too much pressure on the module while cleaning.
Troubleshooting
If your solar charged light does not come on at dusk despite observance of the instructions, please try the following steps;
1. Make sure the solar light is not being affected by any other light source.
2. Ensure the solar light is not positioned in the shade during the day.
3. Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
NOTE: The performance of the solar light will vary with the time of the year. It will deliver more light when it has had a full day in the sun rather
than a day in overcast weather.
WINTERTIME TIPS: Keep snow and debris cleaned off the solar panels so the batteries can recharge. If the lights are covered with snow for an
extended period of time, after the snow melts, allow the battery to charge in full, direct sunlight for at least 6 hours to its maximum capacity.
Batteries
Your battery has a one year warranty from the manufacturer. Please refer to the previous page on how to replace your battery.
WARNING: Do not dispose of Ni-Mh batteries in the regular trash, municipal waste stream or by fire as batteries may leak or explode. Do not
open, short circuit, or mutilate batteries as injury may occur. Preserve our environment by recycling Ni-Mh batteries or disposing of them in
accordance with local, State and federal regulations. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix Alkaline, Standard (Carbon-Zinc) or
