counterclockwise.

WARNING: Do not dispose of Li-On battery in the regular trash, municipal waste
stream or by fire as batteries may leak or explode. Do not open, short circuit, or
mutilate batteries as injury may occur. Preserve our environment by recycling Ni-Mh
batteries or disposing of them in accordance with local, State and federal regulations.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Maintenance
Clean the solar module regularly with a damp towel to guarantee optimum
performance of the solar panel. Do not use any type of solvent for cleaning and be
careful not to put too much pressure on the module while cleaning.
Trouble Shooting
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 lamp head is in the ”ON” position (either
“Low” or “High”).
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: Keep snow and debris cleaned off the solar panels so the
batteries can recharge. If the lights are covered with snow for an extended period of
time, after the snow melts, allow all the batteries to charge in full, direct sunlight for
at least 6 hours to their maximum capacity.
WARNING: Please keep out of reach of children.
