Product-specific safety
instructions
Cold temperatures negatively impact the
battery operating time. When the solar light
is not being used for extended periods, e.g.
in winter, it should be cleaned and stored in
a dry, warm location.
Make sure the solar cell is free of dirt and
free of snow and ice in winter. Otherwise the
performance of the solar panel will diminish.

The product‘s solar panel converts sunlight into
electrical energy and stores it in two NiMH
batteries.
Switches on the light as it begins to get dark.
The in-built light-emitting diodes are a very longlife and energy-saving light source. The light duration depends on the amount of sunlight, the
angle of light on the solar panel and the temperature (the battery capacity is temperaturedependent). A vertical angle of light at temperatures
above the freezing point is ideal. The battery
does not achieve maximum capacity until after
several charge and discharge cycles.

any force when assembling or setting up the
product, e.g. hammer blows. This will damage the product.
Water use (e.g. garden pond)
(Model 106345-14-02)
Place the assembled solar light on the water
surface without the ground stake
Ensure the bottom splash 6 is at the bottom
(Fig. J).
Do not submerse the solar light in water:
The solar light is only protected from water
so long as the water does not exert pressure
on it.
General information on selecting the
location
For optimal results, place the solar light in a
location where the solar light is exposed to
direct sunlight as long as possible.
Do not position the solar light under shrubs,
trees, porches, etc. This will reduce the incidence of sunlight.

Make sure the solar cell is not impacted by
other light sources, e.g. yard or street lighting,
or the light will not switch on at dusk. In low
light the light will automatically switch on, and
automatically switch off in normal ambient
light.
Replacing the
rechargeable batteries
For optimal performance, the rechargeable
batteries should be replaced every 12 months.

„Technical data“).
Regularly clean the solar light with a dry,
lint-free cloth. Use a slightly moist cloth to
remove any stubborn dirt.
Troubleshooting
Note: The device contains sensitive electronic
components. For this reason it is possible that it

remote controls and microwaves. If you notice that
the device is malfunctioning, remove any sources
of interference from the area of the device.
Note: Electrostatic discharge can cause malfunctions. In the event of such malfunctions briefly
remove and reinsert the rechargeable batteries.
