Place the solar cell lamp so that it is exposed to
the sun for at least 48 hours to charge the
battery.
It can take up to 4 days for the product to
achieve full brightness.
USE
Read the Operating Instructions carefully before use.
Positioning
The position, weather conditions and season affect the length of time that the batteries can power the
lamp. If the solar cell panel has been in sunlight for 8 hours, the solar cell lamp will light for up to 6 hours.
The batteries will not be fully charged if the solar cell lamp is placed in the shade, which will result in a
shorter lighting-up period and reduce the lifetime of the batteries.
Replacing the battery
Turn the lamp glass until it comes loose. Undo the screw and remove the battery cover. Insert 1 NiMH
battery, AA, 300 mAH with the correct polarity. Replace the battery cover and the lamp glass by aligning
the tab beside the battery compartment and turning clockwise until the lamp glass locks in place. Allow
the battery to charge for at least 48 hours in full sunlight before using for the first time.
IMPORTANT:
Used batteries and used products must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Batteries must not be burned – risk of explosion or leakage.
Batteries must not be opened
,
short-circuited or damaged in any other way – risk of personal injury.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types (standard, alkaline or
rechargeable).
Do not attempt to charge the batteries by using a battery charger that connects to the mains, and
do not attempt to power the solar cell lamp from the mains.
MAINTENANCE
Do not place solar cell lamps near sources of light such as street lamps, as this may prevent them
from lighting up.
Do not position close to areas where salt, corrosive substances or fertiliser are used.
Avoid scratching the surface of the solar panel, and keep it free from dust and debris.
Wipe the solar cell lamp with a soft, damp cloth if necessary.
