Please read the instruction manual carefully to obtain the best results from your purchase.
For best results, the solar light must be charged in the “ON” position (High or
Low) for at least 2 days of full direct sunlight.
Gama Sonic’s remote solar panel allows
the light to be installed in an area that
may not receive direct sunlight. The panel
can be installed up to 6 feet away from
the lamp to receive optimal sunlight. An
Extension cord is also available to provide
an additional 8 feet of length.

Unscrew the two screws holding the silver reflector to the fixture.
On the back side of the reflector, remove the screws and cover for
the battery compartment, remove and unclip the old battery.
Make sure the new battery is a high quality 3.2V/1500mAh Li-Ion
rechargeable battery with matching connector (Item # GS32V15).
Clip in the new battery and install it into the compartment, then
replace the battery cover and secure with the screws.

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 light does not come on as expected despite observance of all the instructions, please try
the following steps:
1. Make sure that the solar lamp is not being affected by any other light source.
2. Ensure the solar lamp is not positioned in the shade during the day.
3. Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
NOTE: The performance of the solar lamp will vary with the time of year. It will last longer 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. Do not dispose of the Li-Ion 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 Li-Ion batteries or disposing of them in
accordance with local, State and federal regulations. Do not mix old and new batteries.
