PACKAGE CONTENTS

BEFORE YOU START

How solar light works:

Solar light has a solar panel that converts sunlight into electricity.
During the day, the electricity converted by the solar panel is
stored in the rechargeable battery. At night, the solar light is
powered by the battery using the electricity stored during the day.
The operating time depends on geographical location, daily
weather conditions and season.

Choose the right location:

Select a location with full, direct sunlight. Do not install in shady
areas as these areas will not allow the battery to be fully charged
and will reduce nighttime working hours. Be sure that the
selected location is not close to other nighttime light sources such
as street lights or porch lights. These light sources may keep the
solar lights from turning on automatically.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

No tools required for assembly and installation.

Step 1

At the bottom of spotlight (1), use
the BrightnessSelector™ switch to
choose a preferred working mode
for your solar lights. (FIG.1)

Step 2

Attach the spotlight (1) to ground
spike (2). Push the assembly firmly
into the ground—DO NOT use a
hammer. For ground with hard soil,
to prevent breaking the ground
spike, use trowel to loose soil first.
(FIG.2)

Charging the battery:

For optimum performance, it is best to install the solar lights in full
sunlight and charge for 10-12 hours. Allow the light to run at least
8-12 entire charging and discharging cycles to reach battery’s
maximum capacity.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

For best performance, replace with rechargeable 3.2V Lithium
Phosphate 1000mAh battery every year or when performance
diminishes.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND TIPS

If your solar light does not turn on at night or its nightly run time is
shorter, it may be caused by one of the following conditions:

1. Battery is not fully charged. Make sure the solar light is
located in an area where it can receive the maximum amount
of full, direct sunlight everyday. If the solar light does not
receive enough sunlight during a day (e.g. due to cloudy or
overcast weather conditions), it will be recharged on the next
sunny day and resume normal operation. Keeping the solar
panel clean is equally important to ensure the maximum
charging performance.

2. The solar light is installed close to other light sources, which
may keep the solar light from turning on at night
automatically. To solve the problem, relocate the fixture or
eliminate other light sources.

3. The battery is reaching the end of its useful life and needs to
be replaced.

Winter tips:

Keep debris and snow off the solar panel to allow the battery to
recharge. If lights have been covered by snow for a long time,
allow batteries to recharge in full, direct sunlight for at least 10-12
hours so they can maintain maximum capacity.
