Pre-Installation
HOW YOUR SOLAR POWERED FIXTURE WORKS
During the day, the solar panel converts sunlight into electricity and recharges the battery / batteries. At night, the light turns on
automatically using the electricity stored during that day.
The number of hours the light stays on depends on your geographical location, weather conditions and seasonal sunlight availability.
Place the solar light xture in an area where it can receive direct sunlight for at least 8 hours each day. Shadowed locations will not allow
the battery / batteries to charge fully and will reduce the hours of nighttime lighting. The selected location should not be near nighttime light
sources, such as porch lights, street lights or pool lights, as these may cause the solar light to turn off prematurely.
FIRST TIME USE
If the solar panel is covered by a protective lm, remove it before using the product. Move the “AUTO/OFF” switch to the AUTO position.
Place the solar light in a location where it can receive a full 8 hours of sunlight to allow the rechargeable battery/batteries to reach
maximum capacity.
INSTALLATION TIPS
□If the soil is of a loose, sandy or organic type, grasp the post with both hands near the spike and rmly push into the ground.
□If the soil is hard, pour some water onto the ground to soften it.
□If the soil is stony, soften the ground with a rake or shovel and remove large rocks. Dig a small hole, insert the xture spike, replace
the soil and tap down.
