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

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Inspect contents of the box to ensure all parts are included and undamaged.
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.

photocell light sensor should point away
from other nighttime light sources.
Step 5
Charge in direct sunlight 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
