HOW YOUR CYPRESS™

SOLAR-POWERED L.E.D. LIGHTS WORK

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SOLAR LIGHT.

SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

IMPORTANT: The EPA Certified RBRC®Battery

Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadmium (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.

BEFORE FIRST USE – Pull out to remove the clear plastic strip
with orange sticker in the light fixture to charge battery.

Install your Cypress 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.

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.
