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

®

program provides a convenient

RBRC
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.

To maximize run time, the light
should be positioned so that the
photo cell sensor is facing North
(see illustration). This will ensures
that the solar panels are aligned in
an East/West orientation to receive
maximum sunlight.

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

Install your Victorian 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.

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.
