1. Introduction
Dear Costumer,
Thank you for purchasing the solar light.
With this solar light you purchased a product manufactured according to the current
state of technology.
This product fulfils all requirements of the valid European and
national regulations. The conformity was proved. The relevant
declarations and documentation are deposited with the manu-
facturer.
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. The accident prevention rules of
the association of the industrial trade cooperative association for electric plants and
working material are to be considered in industrial environments
3. Intended use and function
The solar light is designed for year-round outdoor use. It can be placed on
terraces, in gardens, entrance areas etc.
The built-in rechargeable battery is optimally charged at any angle of inci-
dence due to an intelligent arrangement of the solar cells. The light swit-
ches on automatically at dusk and off again at dawn. 30 warm white and
30 cold white LEDs are installed as light sources. These enable optimum
illumination of the sphere. The light colour can be selected via an IR remo-
te control between warm or cold white. The light switches off automatically
after 8 hours of operation or when the battery is discharged.
During longer periods without sunlight, the battery is insufficiently charged
to ensure constant readiness for operation. However, this does not mean
that the solar light is defective. Wait for the next sunny day and the lamp
will work again accordingly, or recharge the battery in a standard charger
in between.
4. Commissioning
4.1 The lamp
Carefully remove the lamp from the packaging and follow the description
below:
1. Unscrew the screw.
2. Remove the lamp upwards.
3. Place the lamp on its head
4. Plug the plug and the socket of the battery cable together and insert the
cable with connector through the hole into the inside of the housing.
Note: This plug connection is protected against reverse polarity. Please
do not use force!
5. Now close the hole.
6. Plug the lamp onto the stand and make sure that the threaded hole is
in the correct position.
7. Screw the screw back in.
8. Now place the lamp in a sunny and shadow-free location.
4.2 The IR remote control
To activate the remote control, simply pull out the plastic strip on the
bottom.
To control the light colour, the remote cont-
rol must be held at a distance of approx. 50
cm from the top of the sphere. The following
functions can be controlled via the remote
control:
White: Light colour cold white
Warm White: Light colour warm white
OFF: Lamp switched off
The solar light is now activated and ready for use!
Note:
The lighting duration is strongly dependent on the intensity and duration
of the solar radiation during the day. In days with little sunshine, generally
less lighting duration is to be expected. If the light does not light up on the
first evening, please wait for a sunny day.
5. Changing the battery
For solar lights, the battery must be replaced every 3 years on average.
Please use only an identical battery with the same voltage and capacity.
If you do not get this capacity, you can also use batteries with higher
capacity.
Remove the ball as described in point 4.1.
Proceed as described below to replace the battery:
1. Unscrew the three screws at the bottom.
2. Remove the cover carefully.
3. Remove the used battery from the holder.
4. Loosen the plug connection of the battery and reconnect the plug
connection with the new battery.
Note: This plug connection is protected against reverse polarity. Please
do not use force!
5. Now reinsert the new battery and replace the cover.
6. Now screw the 3 screws back in.
7. Now remount the lamp as described under point 4.1.
Note: Used batteries or rechargeable batteries must be disposed of in
an environmentally friendly manner and do not belong in the household
waste. Your dealer is legally obliged to take back the old batteries.
6. Malfunctions
1. The light colour of the sphere cannot be controlled with the remote
control!
Remedy: Is the plastic strip on the underside of the remote control
removed (only for initial operation)?
Remedy: Please note that the sphere can only be remote controlled at
night!
Remedy: Is the battery in the remote control too weak or exhausted?
Replace battery with an identical type!
Remedy: No sunshine during the day. If the sky is cloudy without suns-
hine, the built-in battery in the sphere is not sufficiently charged! Wait
for a sunny day!
Remedy: This is an IR remote control. To control the sphere, please
align the remote control with the sphere.

2. No light in the Sphere!
Remedy: Has the battery in the light ball reached the end of its service
life (replace at least every 2 years!)?
Remedy: No sunshine during the day. If the sky is cloudy without
sunshine, the battery in the sphere is not sufficiently charged! Wait for
a sunny day!
Remedy: Light activated? See instructions point 4.1?
Remedy: Light switched off via remote control?
Remedy: An extraneous light source (e.g. street lamp) simulates day-
light and prevents the light from being switched on. Place the lamp in a
darker place.

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.
