HOW YOUR TRADITIONAL TIER™

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 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.

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.
