panel and main unit. Push sideways and lift away from
main unit.
2. Insert 2 AAA rechargeable batteries in battery
compartment located at the back of the solar panel.
IMPORTANT Place ONLY NiMH type rechargeable
batteries in the solar panel battery compartment. Do not
charge non-rechargeable batteries.
3. Expose the solar panel directly to sunlight for
approximately 5-6 hours to charge the battery. The (red)

North Southern Hemisphere
South Northern Hemisphere
• Do not scratch the solar panel’s surface or wipe it with
strong detergent.
• Do not expose the solar panel to rain, snow or
moisture.
• The duration of the rechargeable battery’s charging or
operating time is determined by either the intensity of
sunlight or the position of the solar panel towards the
sun.
• Do not overcharge the batteries.
BACKUP POWER
1 piece AAA battery
In the case when the rechargeable battery is at or nearly
at or when the solar panel has been detached, the AAA
battery can act as backup power supply for the main unit.
1. Remove the battery compartment located at the base of
the unit.
2. Insert the battery, matching the polarities.
3. Press RESET after each battery change.
NOTE When the rechargeable battery power is exhausted
or when the solar panel has been detached, the backlight and
projection functions will be disabled and the performance of
the radio controlled clock may be affected.
Power adapter (not included)
The adapter powers the unit and can also be used for
charging the rechargeable battery. When connected to the
main unit, will be displayed and projection feature can
reach its maximum brightness.
Plug AC/DC adapter into socket. Make sure the adapter is
not obstructed and is easily accessible to the unit.
To completely disconnect from power, the adapter should be
disconnected from the main unit.
NOTE The main unit and adapter should not be exposed to
wet conditions. No objects lled with liquid, such as vases,
should be placed on the main unit and adaptor.
