1. Introduction

Dear Costumer,
Thank you for purchasing the solar light. With this solar light you purchased a product
manufactured according to the current state of technology.

To maintain this state and guarantee a safe operation, you as the user will have to
follow this operating manual!

2. Safety Instructions

!

- In these cases any guarantee rights will expire.

Due to safety and admission reasons (CE) it is not allowed to arbitrarily reconstruct
and/or change the solar light.
Therefore, please keep to the operating manual.
The accident prevention rules of the association of the industrial trade cooperative
association for electric plants and working material are to be considered in industrial
environments.

3. Function and intended Use

The house number light has to be installed outdoors at a shadow-free sunny side.
During the day, the integrated rechargeable battery is charged via the solar module in
the top side of the house number. The light is automatically switched on at darkness
and switched off at morning light or when the battery is empty.
With a fully charged battery and without recharging, the maximum light ON time of the
lighting amounts to approx. 100 hours.

Note: During the winter months, daylight may be insufcient in order to achieve

lighting in the evening. In this case, please look for a more favorable position for your
solar house number light. The product is suitable for all-season outdoor use.
Note: Please make sure that the solar light is installed at a shadow-free south-, east­or west side. The product cannot be used if installed at north sides. During the winter,
the solar cell shall always be free of snow.

4. Putting into Operation

4.1 Afxing of the Numbers

Your house number may be afxed individually by means of the enclosed set of
numbers. For this purpose, simply peel off the required numbers or letters and afx

them onto the luminous surface from the outside.

4.2 Assembly of the Number Light

Pick an appropriate place for the installation of the house number. Choose an as
sunny and shadow-free place as possible, not under a canopy or awning.

1. Open the house number light.

2. For this purpose, unscrew the screw at
the bottom side and remove the upper
part upward.

3. First the back side of the housing is
hooked into the two top slots by means
of the enclosed screws and then secured
against unintentional unhooking. This is
done via the bottom hole.

4. Now connect the socket of the battery
pack (illustration 1) with the plug on the
cable of the circuit board.

Note: The plug is protected against reverse polarity; please do not apply force

(when plugging it in).

5. Hang the front side of the housing onto the back side mounted to the wall and
fasten both parts on the bottom side of the house number light with the screw you
unscrewed at the beginning.

The house number light is now ready for operation.

6. Malfunctions

The lamp is not switched on at darkness

- Wait for sunshine and charge the battery pack.

- Is the place of installation optimal? There may be insufcient insolation onto the

solar cell.

- Is the solar cell illuminated by extraneous light (e.g. bright lamp) during the night

so that the switch-on threshold is not achieved? Carry out a test during the day:
shade the solar cell by putting the palm of your hand over the cell. Extraneous light
is the reason for the malfunction if the lamp is then switched on. Change the place
of installation!

- Exchange the battery pack by a new identical in construction pack.

Battery take-back

- Batteries must not be discarded into domestic waste.

use, e.g. to public collecting centers or to battery distribu­tors.

- Contaminant-containing batteries are labeled with the sign
“crossed-out trashcan“ and one of the chemical symbols.
Used batteries should be disposed environmentally friendly
and should not be discarded into domestic waste. Your

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!

- Leaking or damaged rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns when they
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.
