Instruction Manual
Model: GS-5

Maintenance
Clean the solar panels regularly with a damp towel to guarantee
optimum performance. Do not use any type of solvent for
cleaning and be careful not to put too much pressure on the
solar panels while cleaning.
Troubleshooting
If your solar charged light does not come on at dusk despite
observance of all the instructions, please try the following steps:
1. Make sure that the solar light is not being affected by any
other light source.
2. Ensure the solar light is not positioned in the shade
during the day.
3. Make sure the switch in the light is the ON position.
4. Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
Note: The performance of the solar light will vary with the time
of year. It will deliver more light when it has had a full day in the
sun rather than a day in overcast weather.
Wintertime Tips: For optimal performance, be sure to remove
any snow or debris accumulation from solar panel(s). A solar
panel free of debris will charge the batteries much more
efficiently.
WARNING: Please keep out of reach of children.
