CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS:
All solar-powered lighting requires a sufficient amount of sunlight to recharge the battery(s).
Solar lighting performance is based on the amount of sunlight received during the day. Your
Solar Light can run up to 10 hours when fully charged. Place your solar light in an area which
is free from cover, shade or shadow. Note that if it is placed in a shaded area, the performance
may be dramatically reduced. In winter months or on cloudy days, the time required to fully
charge the battery(s) will increase.
BATTERY CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Use one 26650 Lithium Phosphate (LiFePO4), 3000mAh, 3.2V rechargeable battery. For best
performance, replace with rechargeable 3.2V LiFePO4 battery every 3 years or when
performance diminishes. Refer to the following steps and the illustration provided to replace
battery.
1. Loosen 2 lock screws (B), remove top cap assembly (A) from housing (C).
2. Remove battery cover plate (F) from top cap assembly (A) by loosening 4 screws (G) as
shown on diagram below. NOTE: To reduce the risk of damage to electrical connections,
exercise caution when separating the battery cover plate (F) from the top cap assembly (A).
3. Disconnect the wire connection of battery lead (I) and remove the old battery from battery
compartment located on battery cover plate (F) as shown on diagram below. Replace with a

ANSWERS
Light(s) not ON or
Light(s) Flashing or
Blinking On/Off
a) Make sure unit is placed under direct sunlight to charge
and not in a shaded or partially shaded area.
b) Prior to use, for units with an AUTO/OFF switch, check
that the unit has been set to AUTO (or ON) position and
allowed to charge a full sunny day. The AUTO position
automatically turns the unit ON at dusk. For units without
an AUTO/OFF switch, remove battery isolator tag and
allowed to charge a full sunny day.
c) Your solar light is equipped with a photosensor that
shuts the light off during the day. If the solar light is
placed too close to another light source, it may detect the
light and prevent the unit from turning on. Avoid placing
the solar light near other light sources.
d) For best performance, replace with rechargeable 3.2V
LiFePO4 battery every 3 years or when performance
diminishes. The 26650 LiFePO4, 3000mAH, 3.2V
rechargeable battery Model 46240-000RB is available at
www.creative-prc.us, [e-mail], or

Will rain or sprinklers
damage my solar lights?
Your solar lights are designed for outdoor use in all
climates. Rain and sprinklers will not damage your solar
lights.
Why do my solar lights
seem to be on shorter in
the winter months?
The normal charging time for solar lights is decreased in
the winter months due to the shorter days and longer
nights. Expect your solar light performance to diminish in
the winter months.
