Charging the rechargeable

battery

Note that the solar garden light must be switched
on when the battery is charging.

The charging time of the battery when the solar cell
is used depends on the intensity of the sunlight and
the angle of incidence of the light on the solar cell.
Place the solar cell as perpendicular as possible to
the angle of incidence of the light. In this way you
will receive the highest light levels.

Maintenance and care

The light-emitting diodes cannot be replaced.
The solar lamp is maintenance-free, except for any
necessary change of battery.

Clean the solar lamp regularly with a dry, lint-
free cloth. Use a slightly dampened cloth to
remove more stubborn dirt.

Troubleshooting

Note: This appliance has delicate electronic com-
ponents. This means that if it is placed near an object
that transmits radio signals, it could cause interfer-
ence. If you notice that the device is malfunctioning,
remove any sources of interference from the area
of the device.
Note: Electrostatic discharges may cause device
to malfunction. In the event of such malfunctions,
remove the batteries briefly and reinsert them.

Error

Cause

Solution

The light will
not switch on
even though
the sun shone
on the lamp
all day.

Artificial
sources of
light, e.g.
street lighting,
are interfering
with the lamp.

Mount the lamp
in a place where
it cannot be dis-
turbed by other
sources of light.

The light does
not come on
or comes on
only briefly.

The recharge-
able battery
is broken or
there was
not enough
daylight.

Replace the re-
chargeable bat-
tery or mount
the lamp in a
place where it
can receive
more sunlight.

Disposal

The packaging is made entirely of recy-
clable materials, which you may dispose
of at local recycling facilities.
