FUNCTION: The built-in solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. The rechargeable battery stores the energy and
converts the power into light for use during the night. The overall performance and illumination hours of the solar light
are largely dependent on the geographic location, weather and temperature conditions. Stronger and longer exposure
to direct sunlight will maximize the stored energy in the battery and provide longer lighting hours.
LOCATION: It is important to select an outdoor location with full, direct sunlight where the solar panel can receive at
least 8 hours of sunlight each day. Shady areas will not enable batteries to be fully charged. This will reduce the lighting
hours at night. It is also important to avoid placing the solar light by light sources, such as street lights or porch lights,
which may cause the solar light to turn off automatically. The solar light is designated for outdoor usage and ideal for
night lighting of garden, paths, etc.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE: Please use a damp cloth to clean the solar panel. Do not use any chemical or
abrasive cleaner. It is important to ensure that no moisture enters into the solar light.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY: This product contains (2) IFR 18500J 800mAh 3.2V Lithium rechargeable batteries.
When the battery expires, it must be recycled or disposed of properly. Please contact your local waste disposal authority
for correct procedure. Do not expose battery to fire.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If light does not work, to locate the defect, please follow these steps:
Check that the switch is in "ON"position.
Cover the photocell to simulate darkness and LED should light up immediately.
Check the rechargeable battery has sufficient charge (normal battery can be used temporarily to test that rest of
light components are functioning properly when troubleshooting). The rechargeable battery needs at least a few
hours of daylight to recharge sufficiently.
Ensure the light is not in shade during the daytime.
Always keep the solar light distant from other night light sources, such as exterior lights. Reposition the light to
avoid close contact with other night light sources.
