HOW TO USE THE SOLAR LAMP
There is an ‘ON/OFF’. Place the solar lamp at a sunny location with condition "ON" . When it turns dark, the
solar lamp will automatically light. In day, the solar lamp will be turned off and store the energy automatically.
WINTER TIPS
Wipe snow or frost off the solar panel to enable the batteries to recharge. Check and switch the batteries
regularly throughout the year, especially after the winter months. It is recommended that solar lights are not
used in freezing conditions. Monitor weather and take solar items indoor for storage as needed.
IMPORTANT:
Before beginning assembly
• Do not throw away any packing material until all parts are verified as present. Please check for ground
stakes and poles on all sides of packing material.
• To protect the glass from damage, do not use force on the glass and hold only the metal parts to connect
together. Keep the glass in the packaging until you need to install it.
• To allow each battery to reach full capacity, pull out the plastic tab and place in full sunlight for the first 12
hours. Failure to do so can shorten the life of the battery or operation of the light.
• Do not install this product over any planting beds with dried materials (mulch, etc).
• The solar cells receive less sunlight in the winter months. Therefore the number of hours the lamp will work
is reduced in winter.
BATTERY WARNINGS:
• Do not use alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or NiCd (nickel cadmium) batteries in solar lights. Only use
AA 1.2V 1000mAh NiMh rechargeable batteries (product includes 5 NiMh rechargeable batteries).
• Do not mix battery types. Only use NiMh batteries.
• Always purchase the correct size and grade of battery most suitable for the intended use.
• Do not open, short circuit or mutilate batteries as injury may occur. Batteries must be recycled or disposed
of properly. For more information, contact your local waste authority.
• Battery performance is affected by weather and temperature. Please expect REDUCED performance in
adverse conditions of cold, extreme cold, extreme heat plus humidity and dampness.
• Replace all batteries of a set at the same time.
• Clean the battery contacts prior to battery installation.
• Ensure the batteries are installed correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -).
• Remove batteries from equipment that will not be used for an extended period of time. Remove used
batteries promptly.
BATTERY SUGGESTIONS:
Rechargeable batteries need to be charged for approximately 12 hours before using to perform correctly.
Our batteries come pre-charged but some discharge may happen during storage or transit.
Less than full sunlight during the day charges the batteries less. On cloudy days or rainy days it may take
several days for the batteries to fully charge.
ATTENTION:
DO NOT BURN THE BATTERIES.
DO NOT USE NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERY FOR THIS PRODUCT.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
It is important to keep the solar cell panel clean. A dirty solar cell will prevent the battery from fully charging.
This will reduce the battery’ lifetime and prevent the lamp from working optimally. Clean regularly with a
damp cloth.
The solar lamp can remain outdoors all year round. If you wish to store the lamp indoors for more than two or
three days, please follow the guidance below to avoid damage to the rechargeable battery:
• Keep the lamp dry at room temperature
• Store the lamp where it can receive sunlight or artificial light every day. The batteries require light during
storage to maintain their charge capacity.
• For longer periods of storage, the batteries must be discharged and recharged once a month. Alternatively,
remove the batteries from the lamp and insert new ones when the lamp is used again.
• Do not store the lamp in boxes or dark rooms, as this will make the batteries lose their charge capacity.
• For optimal use of the lamp, avoid long periods of storage.
BATTERY WARNINGS:
• Do not use alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or NiCd (nickel cadmium) batteries in solar lights. Only use
AA 1.2V 1000mAh NiMh rechargeable batteries (product includes 5 NiMh rechargeable batteries).

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
The photocell reacts to other light
sources. If other lights, such as street
lights, lights from houses or other
lamps, are too close to the solar
lamp, this might prevent the lamp
from switching on automatically at
night.
Remove the light source at fault or
move the solar lamp. After correcting
it, check the lamp after dark or in a
dark room. If the lamp only lights for
a short while, the battery needs
recharging.
A dirty solar cell will prevent the
batteries from charging fully. This will
reduce the batteries’ lifetime and
prevent the lamp from working
optimally.
Clean the lamp regularly with a damp
cloth. After correcting it, check the
lamp after dark or in a dark room. If
the lamp only lights for a short while,
the battery needs recharging.
The battery is not fully charged. If the
weather has been overcast during
the day, the battery may not be
optimally charged for night-time use.
Cloudy or rainy days generate far
less charge on the solar panel and
thus fewer hours of operation.
Prolonged cloudy or rainy days can
affect performance dramatically.
Batteries may need to be changed
and vary by use, temperature, weath-
er conditions and heat.
Replace batteries with the exact
same type of rechargeable batteries.
Open the battery compartment and
clean the battery contacts to ensure
that there is nothing blocking the
battery terminals from making contact,
then "seat" the batteries correctly with
regard to polarity (+ and -).
The batteries are not seated well
between metal clips with regard to
polarity (+ and -). In some cases,
some dislodging may occur during
the shipment.
Ensure that the lamp is placed where
it can receive maximum sunlight
every day. The solar cells must have
direct sunlight every day to charge
the batteries fully. If the solar cell
does not receive enough sunlight on
a particular day, the battery will
recharge on the next sunny day and
function normally again.
The lamp doesn’t
light at night.
