HOW YOUR SIERRA™
SOLAR-POWERED LIGHT WORKS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SOLAR LIGHT.
SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
BEFORE FIRST USE – Pull out to remove the clear plastic strip
with orange sticker in the light fixture to charge battery.
Install your Sierra solar light in direct sunlight and charge for 10-12 FULL,
SUNNY DAYS. The light will turn on automatically at night. Allow at least 10-12
cycles (i.e., 10-12 days and nights of charging and discharging) for the battery
to charge to its full capacity.
The rechargeable Ni-Cd battery must be allowed to fully charge to operate
properly. Partially charging the battery on a consistent basis will drastically
reduce the life of the battery.
IMPORTANT: The EPA Certified RBRC
®
Battery Recycling Seal on the nickelcadmium (Ni-Cd) battery contained in our
product indicates The Brinkmann Corporation
is voluntarily participating in an industry
program to collect and recycle these
batteries at the end of their useful life, when
taken out of service in the United States or
Canada. The RBRC
®
program provides a
convenient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd
batteries into the trash or the municipal
waste stream, which may be illegal in your
area. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY™ for
information on Ni-Cd battery recycling and
disposal bans/restrictions in your area. The
Brinkmann Corporation’s involvement in this
program is part of our commitment to
preserving our environment and conserving
our natural resources.
During the day, the solar panel converts sunlight
into electricity and recharges the battery. At
night, the light turns on automatically using the
electricity stored during that day.
The number of hours the light will stay on
is dependent on your geographical location,
weather conditions and seasonal lighting
availability.
Solar lights do not receive as much direct
sunlight in winter months. Therefore, the
number of hours the light will stay on will be
reduced during winter.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Inspect contents of the box to ensure all parts are included and undamaged.
A flathead screwdriver is required for
mounting the wall bracket.
Select a location with full, direct sunlight.
Shady locations will not allow the battery to
charge fully and will reduce the hours of
nighttime light.
NOTE: The rechargeable Ni-Cd battery
must be allowed to fully charge to
operate properly. Partially
charging the battery on a
consistent basis will drastically
reduce the life of the battery.
The selected location should not be near a
nighttime light source such as a porch light
or street light, as these might keep the solar
lights from automatically turning on. The
solar lights should not be placed closer than
5 feet from one another. This could cause the
solar lights to flicker from the adjacent light
source.
