Safety information/Functioning
J Use protective gloves! Leaky or damaged recharge-
able batteries could cause chemical burns upon
contact with skin; that is why you should use suitable
protective gloves.
J Only use rechargeable batteries of the right size and of the
recommended type (see section on ”Technical data”).
J Ensure correct polarity. This is indicated in the battery compart-
ment 10 .
J Rechargeable batteries should not be disposed of with domes-
tic waste. Please dispose of used rechargeable batteries in an
environmentally friendly way.
J Always switch off the product before removing or inserting the
rechargeable battery 9.
QFunctioning
The integrated solar cell 4of the article converts solar radiation
into electrical energy and stores it in the NiMH rechargeable bat-
tery 9. The light switches itself on when it starts to get dark. The
integrated LED 2is an energy-saving illuminant with a very long
life. The burn time depends on the solar radiation, the angle of in-
cidence of the light falling onto the solar cell 4, and the tempera-
ture (due to the temperature dependence of the capacity of the re-
chargeable batteries). The ideal situation is a vertical angle. Given
the best conditions, a burn time of 6–8 hours can be achieved. The
rechargeable battery 9will only achieve its maximum capacity af-
ter several charging and discharging cycles.
