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 lamp head is NOT in the” OFF” position.
4. Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
NOTE: The performance of the solar lamp 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 efciently.
WARNING: Please keep out of reach of children.
