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.
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 longer duration 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.
WARNING: Do not dispose of 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
