1. Introduction
Dear Costumer,
Thank you for purchasing the solar light. With this solar light you purcha-
sed a product manufactured according to the current state of technology.
This product fulfils all requirements of the valid European and natio-
nal regulations. The conformity was proved. The relevant declarati-
ons and documentation are deposited with the manufacturer.
To maintain this state and guarantee a safe operation, you as the user will
have to follow this operating manual!
2. Safety Instructions
- In case of damages caused by not
following this operating manual, the
warranty rights will expire! We exclude
liability for any consequential damages!
- We exclude liability for property or
personal damages caused by inappropriate
handling or not following the safety instructions.
- In these cases any guarantee rights will expire.
Due to safety and admission reasons (CE) it is not allowed to arbitrarily
reconstruct and/or change the solar light.
Therefore, please keep to the operating manual.
3. Usage in Accordance with Requirements
The light is automatically switched on at darkness and switched out in the
morning light. The maximum illumination duration with a full accumulator
and without charging is approximately 8 hours. The solar module installed
in the upper part of the housing charges the integrated accumulator.
Switch1 (the main switch) is used to switch on and off the whole set. In the
position of “off”, the battery cannot be charged.
Switch 2 is used to switch on and off the illumination and in the position of
“A”, the battery can be charged and the illumination is off. In the position of
“C”, the battery is charged and the illumination on.
The LED rope is suitable for outdoor usage. This LED net cannot be sunk
into water. The solar module may be installed on a pole, inserted into the
ground or screwed to the wall. The product is designed for the application
in a private environment.
Note: Please make sure that the solar module is preferably directed to the
South and that shadows are avoided. When directing the module to the
North it is not possible to use the product. The solar module shall always
be free of snow in the winter.
4. Installation and Initiation
1. Please carefully take all parts out of the package and lay out the net.
2. Please fix down the LED net on the wall, the fence or the pavilion etc.
please pay attention to the “marginal” net with the cables cannot be pla-
ced too near from one another. If the voltage is too large, you can remo-
ve the cable or demolish the solder joints of LEDs. It is just designed for
the use in the outdoor areas but please notice that the net can not be
permanently submerged into water (pond, etc). For the convenience of
the installation, the light is preferably removed from the module.
3. Now look for a suitable place for installing the solar module within the
cable range. Please ensure that the solar module is placed pointing
southwards and that no shadows falls on it. The solar module can be
installed on the ground or snapped in place to the ground or wall or on
poles using a retaining plate. Using the ball-and-socket joint, the solar
module can be optimally aligned in the direction of sun.
Note: During the winter months the duration of illumination will generally be
shorter. If the lamp should not shine on the first evening, please wait for a sunny
day.
4. Now push the switch 1 (main
switch) on the back side of the
solar module to the position
"ON". The LED net is now acti-
vated.
5. Via the mode switch on the
back of the module, the LED
light of the net in different light
modes (different blinking light,
continuous light) is controlled.
6. Switch 2 (power switch): in the position “C” the LED net can be turned
off. In the day the battery is charged but at night the net is not lighted.
In this way for several days you can continuously store energy from the
sun in the battery. Then set the switch to the position “A”, the illumina-
tion is on.
Note: During the winter month the duration of illumination will general-
ly be shorter. If the lamp should not shine on the first evening, please
use Switch 2 to store energy for several days.
5. Lighting modes (Smart program)
This product has a built-in microchip and controls the lighting depending
upon the charging status of the batteries. The greater the charge in the
batteries, the brighter is the light from the LEDS. Following list shows the
current as a function of the charging status of the batteries and the
lighting duration. After glowing for about 8 hrs, the light switchs off auto-
matically.
Using the Mode button at the back of the module, the individual flashing
modes can be setup.
There are a total of 8 lighting modes in the following sequence:
Press the Mode key for changing the mode each time. A mode which is
setup is retained permanently.
1. Lighting mode cycles from 2 to 8
2. Continuous light
3. - 8. Different flashing light
5.1 Continuous light
If you press the Mode button for longer than 3 seconds the LEDs glow
continously. The lighting duration is a maximum of 8 hrs and then the
light is switched off. This mode is stored and repeats on the next day.
Note: The continuous lighting mode uses up maximum energy and hence
should be chosen only at those times when the sun is shining brightly.

- Lamp is not switched on at darkness or only for a short period of
time.
- Is the lamp connected?
- Accumulator weak or defective. Exchange of the accumulators.

Rechargeable battery notes
- Rechargeable batteries should not be played with by children. Never
leave rechargeable batteries lying around; they could be swallowed by
children or pets.
- Rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or
thrown into fire. This leads to a danger of explosion!
- Leaking or damaged rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns
when they come into contact with skin. For this reason, please make use
of suitable protective gloves.
- Rechargeable batteries should only be replaced by structurally identical
rechargeable batteries from the same manufacturer. Normal batteries
must not be used since these are not rechargeable.
- Make sure the rechargeable batteries are inserted with the correct pola-
rity.
- For long periods of time of non-use (for example, storage), remove the
inserted rechargeable batteries to avoid damages via the leaking rechar-
geable batteries.
