3. Intended Use and Function

The solar underwater spotlight is designed for outdoor operation.
The 6 spotlights are designed in protection class IP 68 and may therefore
be used under water.
The solar module is designed in protection class IP 44 (splashproof) and
may also be used outdoors. Immersing the solar module into water is not

permitted. The individual cable splices shall always be connected rmly and

the respective protective cap shall always be closed tightly. The spotlights
have to be taken out of the water during the winter and in case of frost. This
product is constructed in protection class III (protective extra-low voltage).

The light is automatically switched on at darkness and is switched off in the
morning light or when the batteries are discharged. The maximum duration
of illumination with a full battery and without recharging amounts to approx.
8 hours. The solar module installed in the upper part of the housing charges
the integrated storage battery. The illumination may be switched on and off
via a switch on the back side of the solar module.
This product is not a toy and is designed for use in a private environment.

Note: Make sure that the solar module is preferably faced to the South
and that shadows are avoided. The product can not be used when faced
to the North.

5. LED Display

A red LED is installed apart from the ON-/OFF-switch on the back of the

solar module. In position “ON”, the red LED ashes if the integrated batteries

are charged by the solar module. At darkness and when the underwater
spotlight is switched on, the LED will change into a permanent light.

This LED display serves for the function check of the solar module.

6. Exchange of the Storage Batteries

The capacity of the batteries will become
weak after one to two years which requires
an exchange of the batteries. The batteries
are available from your (local) dealer or the
manufacturer.

1. Unscrew the 4 screws on the back of the
battery compartment an remove the cover.

2. Remove the batteries from the holders.

3. Insert the new batteries with correct polarity
and close the housing in reverse order.

Note: Used batteries have to be disposed of in an environmentally sound
way and do not belong into the household waste. Your dealer is required by
law to take back old batteries.

7. Malfunctions

Lamp is not activated/switched on at darkness

- Is the lamp switched on? Are the plugs of the spotlights inserted rmly?

- A source of extraneous light (e.g. street lamp) simulates daylight on the

solar module and prevents the activation. Place the lamp at a darker
place.

At darkness, the lamp is not activated at all or only for a short time.

- Incorrect polarity when exchanging the batteries?

- Battery weak or defective? Exchange the batteries or charge them with

a commercially available battery charger!

- Are the plug connections of the spotlights inserted tightly?

9. 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.
