Choosing the Right Location
• Select an outdoor location where the solar panel will receive at least 6-8 hours of full, direct sunlight each day. Ensure the solar
panel does not become shaded by trees, shrubs, or buildings throughout the day, as this will influence the battery's charge and
shorten the working time at night.
• Avoid locations with nighttime light sources nearby, such as street or porch lights. When the light detecting sensor receives too
much ambient light, the solar lantern will not illuminate.
Solar Lantern Operation
Switch the power button on the top of the solar lantern to the 'ON' position.
First Time Use: The solar lamp will require at least 8 hours of full, direct sunlight to fully charge the battery. Make sure the unit is
turned 'ON' while charging. If there is insucient time to charge for a full 8 hours, turn the solar panel o and wait until the following
day to nish charging.
As long as the battery has a sucient charge, the lamp will illuminate when it gets dark.
How Solar Lights Work
During the day, the solar panel converts solar energy into electricity and stores it in the rechargeable battery. At night, the light turns
on automatically via a light detecting sensor built into the unit. How long the light illuminates will depend upon the location of the light,
weather conditions, and how much direct sunlight the solar panel is exposed to. Ensure the power is switched to 'ON' while charging.
Accessing and Changing The Battery
1. Switch the power button to the 'OFF' position.
2. Remove the battery cover and gently remove the old battery.
3. Paying attention to the positive and negative terminals, gently insert the new battery.
4. Replace the battery cover and switch the power button to the 'ON' position.
5. To fully charge the battery, ensure the lantern is in a location that will receive at least 8 hours of full, direct sunlight before the rst
use with the new battery.
The Battery
The battery, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limited life span, and become less ecient with repeated charge/discharge cycles.
As the capacity of the battery reduces, the hours of operation will lessen, and the battery will need to be replaced.
IMPORTANT: Only use a compatible rechargeable battery (rechargeable AA, 300mAh 1.2V); an alternative battery may be incompatible,
which may damage the unit and will void the warranty. Dispose of the battery in accordance with local laws and regulations.
Solar Lantern Use & Care
• For outdoor use only.
• Keep away from children.
• Do not submerge in water.
• Keep the solar panel clean by gently wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. Clean solar panels will absorb more sunlight.
• Never use chemicals or abrasive materials to clean the lantern or solar panel.
• Store in a dry, warm, indoor location during inclement weather and freezing temperatures.
• Do not allow the unit to freeze. Freezing temperatures will damage the internal components.
• To help prolong the life of the battery, ensure it is fully charged before storing. Turn the unit off before storing it. Removing the
battery during storage is recommended.
This product uses a rechargeable battery. When the battery can no longer be used, it should be removed from the unit and recycled.
The battery must not be incinerated or composted. Recycle the battery in accordance with local laws and regulations.
Solar Lantern Troubleshooting
• Ensure the power button is turned to the 'ON' position.
• This product is designed to only illuminate at night. Make sure the light sensor is not receiving too much ambient light.
• If the light only works for a short time, attempt a 'Boost Charge':
- Turn the power 'ON' and let it charge in full, direct sunlight for at least 8 hours.
- Turn the power 'OFF' at night to conserve the battery.
- Repeat this process for 2-3 days. If the unit still does not work, the battery may need replacing.
• Over time, the glue holding the solar panel to the lantern may weaken. If components separate, carefully glue the solar panel to the lantern
using a suitable outdoor glue (not included) that is designed to adhere to plastic; consult a professional at your local hardware store.
