not leave the batteries lying around. There is a
risk of children or animals swallowing them.
Consult a doctor immediately if a battery is
swallowed.

CAUTION! DANGER OF EX-
PLOSION!
Use only rechargeable
batteries of the recommended type.

Other rechargeable or single-use batteries
could explode during charging.

FIRE HAZARD! Do not allow re-
chargeable batteries to short-circuit.
Otherwise the rechargeable batteries

may overheat, become a fire hazard or explode.

RISK OF EXPLOSION! Never
throw rechargeable 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leak out of outdated or used rechargeable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.

WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES!
If they come into contact with skin,
leaked or damaged rechargeable

batteries could cause chemical burns; you
should therefore wear suitable protective gloves
at all times if such an event occurs.

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.

Functioning

The solar cell installed in the article converts sunlight
into electrical energy and stores it in 1 NiMH battery.
Switches on the light as it begins to get dark. The
in-built light-emitting diodes are a very long-life and
energy-saving light source. The light duration de-
pends on the amount of sunlight, the angle of light
on the solar cell and the temperature (the battery
capacity is temperature-dependent). A vertical angle
of light at temperatures above the freezing point is
ideal. The battery does not achieve maximum

capacity until after several charge and discharge
cycles.

Preparing for use

Installing the light

Install the light in accordance with Figures A, D:
1. Rotate the solar cell housing

5

anticlockwise

out of the lamp shade

6

(see Fig. A).

2. Move the ON / OFF switch

1

into the ON

position to enable the article switching on
during darkness.

3. Insert the solar cell housing

5

into the lamp

shade

6

and tighten by turning it clockwise.

4. Place the light on to the pole

7

.

5. Take out the ground stake

8

from the pole

7

and insert it into the pole

7

with the tip facing

downwards (see Fig. D).

6. Your solar lamp is ready for use.

Setting up the light

Insert the assembled solar light far enough into
the ground (lawn, flower bed) for it to be stable.

Make sure you keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Do not use any force when assem-
bling or setting-up the product, e.g. hammer
blows. This will damage the product. In order
to achieve the best result, set the solar garden
lamp up in a place where the solar cell will get
direct sunlight for as long as possible.

Make sure that the solar cell is not influenced
by any other source of light such as yard or
street lighting as otherwise the light will not
come on in twilight.

The light automatically switches on in twilight
conditions and off again when normal outdoor
lighting conditions return.
