3. Usage in Accordance with Requirements

The solar spotlight is automatically switched on at darkness and switched out in
the morning light. The maximum illumination duration with a full accumulator
and without recharging is approximately 8 hours. The solar module installed in
the upper part of the housing charges the integrated accumulator.
The illumination may be switched on and off via a switch. The three solar spot­lights are suitable for outdoor usage. The spotlights must not be sunk into water.
With the earth pole, it is possible to insert the spotlights into the ground or, by
means of a mounting bracket, screw them to a wall. The solar module may be
installed on a pole, inserted into the ground or screwed to the wall. The product
is designed for the application in a private environment.

Note: Please make sure that the solar module is preferably directed to the
South and that shadows are avoided. When directing the module to the North it
is not possible to use the product. The solar module shall always be free of

snow in the winter.

4. Initiation

1. Please carefully take all parts out of the package and unwrap the accesso­ries.

2. Via an earth pole, it is possible to insert
the three LED spotlights into the
ground or, by means of an assembly
plate, screwed to a wall or floor. The
spotlight may be adjusted via the ball­and-socket joint.

3. Now choose an appropriate site for the assembly of the solar module within
the reach of the spotlight. Please note that the site shall be directed to the
south and that no shadow falls on the solar module. By means of an assem­bly plate, the spotlight may be screwed to a wall or floor, or, via an earth pole,
inserted into the ground. The spotlight may also be installed on a post. This
is done by means of a pole bracket. Via the ball-and-socket joint, it is possi­ble to direct the spotlight to the sun.

Rechargeable battery notes

- Rechargeable batteries should not be played with by children. Never leave rechar­geable batteries lying around; they could be swallowed by children or pets.

- Rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into
fire. This leads to a danger of explosion!

come into contact with skin. For this reason, please make use of suitable protecti­ve gloves.

- Rechargeable batteries should only be replaced by structurally identical recharge­able batteries from the same manufacturer. Normal batteries must not be used
since these are not rechargeable.

- Make sure the rechargeable batteries are inserted with the correct polarity.

- For long periods of time of non-use (for example, storage), remove the inserted
rechargeable batteries to avoid damages via the leaking rechargeable batteries.
