Risk of property damage
Only use the specified battery type!
When inserting the battery ensure the correct
polarity! This is shown in the battery compart-
ment!
If necessary, clean the battery- and product
contacts before inserting them.
Promptly remove dead batteries from the
product!
Before installation
The integrated solar cell 3 of the product 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 light duration depends on the amount of
sunlight, the angle of light on the solar panel and
the temperature (the battery capacity is tempera-
ture-dependent). The ideal situation is a vertical an-
gle. Given the best conditions, a burn time of 6-8
hours can be achieved. The rechargeable battery
will only achieve its maximum capacity after sev-
eral charging and discharging cycles.
Installation
Insert the lower stake 5 into the top stake 2 .
Now guide it into the decorative trim 1 (see
Fig. A).
Push the stake of the into the ground (lawn,
flower bed, etc.).
Note: Ensure the product is stable. Do not use
force when assembling or setting up the prod-
uct, e.g. hammer blows. This will damage the
product.
Note: For the best results, put the light in a
place where the solar cell
3 is exposed to di-
rect 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 is not covered or in the shade.
Note: Make sure the solar cell is not im-
pacted by other light sources, e.g. yard- or
street lighting, or the light will not switch on at
twilight.
Operation
Switching the light on and off
Set the ON / OFF switch 7 on the underside
of the solar housing 4 to ON or OFF to
switch the light on or off.
Note: If the ON / OFF switch is set to ON,
the light will automatically switch on at dusk.
The RGB LED at the end of the top stake
2
will then produce a colour flow lighting effect
which flows from the fibre optics of the decora-
tive trim
1 to the tips of the buttlerfly‘s wings.
Switch the light off (OFF position) if the light
will be in the dark for extended periods (e.g.
when transporting with the battery inserted).
Setting the switch to OFF will disable the light and
charging.
Replacing the battery
(Fig. B + C)
The battery is a wear part and should be replaced
regularly (about every 1–2 years).
Since in central Europe the product is unable to ab-
sorb sufficient energy during the winter months due
to poor sunlight, the product should be stored
away during this time. When doing so, remove the
battery for safety purposes.
Note: For this step you will need a Phillips screw-
driver.
Switch the product off using the ON/ OFF
switch 7 before removing or inserting the
rechargeable battery.
Disconnect the lower stake 5 from the upper
stake 2 .
Open the battery compartment 8 on the
underside of the solar housing 4 . To do so,
