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 batteries.

Your new solar light’s rechargeable Ni-Cd battery is fully charged and ready for use. Install the solar light in direct sunlight. For optimum performance, it is best to charge the solar light for a FULL, SUNNY DAY. The light will turn on automatically at night. The Ni-Cd rechargeable battery provides increased brightness and stays on longer as it cycles over time (days and nights of charging and discharging). The more direct sunlight that the light receives during the day, the brighter and longer the light will stay on at night.

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.

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.
