the screws being used.
•Drill out the hole for the cord.
• Slide the cord through the cord hole and
secure the panel using the three screws.
•Adjust the solar panel (A) so the panel is
facing south and angled at 45 degrees for

into it from its mounting bracket (C).
2. Remove the clear dome and bulb from the unit.
3. Unscrew and remove the battery compartment cover.

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.
