Safety instructions
YOU SHOULD STORE ALL SAFETY INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE
IN CASE YOU NEED TO REFER TO THEM
AGAIN IN THE FUTURE!
Children or persons who lack the knowledge
or experience to use the device or whose
physical, sensory or intellectual capacities
are limited must never be allowed to use the
device without supervision or instruction by a
person responsible for their safety. Children
must never be allowed to play with the device.
Do not use the article if you detect any kind
of damage.
Product-specific safety
instructions
Make sure that the solar cell is free of dirt
and free of snow and ice in winter. Otherwise
the performance of the solar cell will diminish.

Cold temperatures have a negative influence
on the operating life of the rechargeable battery. If the solar garden lights are not going
to be used for a long time, e.g. in winter, they
should be taken up, cleaned and stored in a
dry, warm room.
Safety instructions for
rechargeable batteries
DANGER TO
LIFE AND RISK OF ACCIDENTS
FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN!
Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Do
not leave the batteries lying around. There is
a risk of children or animals swallowing them.
Consult a doctor immediately if a battery is
swallowed.
CAUTION! DANGER OF
EXPLOSION! Use only recharge-
able batteries of the recommended
type. Other rechargeable or single-use batteries could explode during charging.

FIRE HAZARD! Do not allow
rechargeable batteries to short-cir-
cuit. Otherwise the rechargeable
batteries may overheat, become a fire hazard
or explode.
RISK OF EXPLOSION! Never
throw rechargeable batteries into
fire or water.
Chemical fluids that damage the product may
leak out of outdated or used rechargeable
batteries. Remove, therefore, the rechargeable battery when the lamp is not required for
any length of time.
WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES!
If they come into contact with skin,
leaked or damaged rechargeable
batteries could cause chemical burns; you
should therefore wear suitable protective
gloves at all times if such an event occurs.
Only use rechargeable batteries of the right
size and of the recommended type (see section on ”Technical data”).
Ensure correct polarity. This is indicated in the
battery compartment for the rechargeable
battery.

Functioning
The solar cell installed in the article converts sunlight into electrical energy and stores it in 1 NiMH
battery. Switches on the light as it begins to get
dark. The in-built light-emitting diodes are a very
long-life and energy-saving light source. The light
duration depends on the amount of sunlight, the
angle of light on the solar cell and the temperature
(the battery capacity is temperature-dependent).
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.
Preparing for use
Installing the light
Install the light in accordance with Figures A, D, E:
1. Rotate the solar cell housing
out of the lamp shade
2. Move the ON / OFF switch
1

(see Fig. A).

into the ON
anticlockwise
position to switch the light on.

and insert it into the pole
and tighten by turning it clockwise.

with the tip facing
downwards (see Fig. D).
6. Your solar lamp is ready for use (see Fig. E).
Setting up the light
Insert the assembled solar light far enough
into the ground (lawn, flower bed) for it to be
stable.
Make sure you keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Do not use any force when
assembling or setting-up the product, e.g.
hammer blows. This will damage the product.
In order to achieve the best result, set the
solar garden lamp up in a place where the
solar cell will get direct sunlight for as long as
possible.
Make sure that the solar cell is not influenced
by any other source of light such as yard or
street lighting as otherwise the light will not
come on in twilight.
86287_livx_Solarleuchte_content_LB3.indd 13 02.01.13 12:28

The light automatically switches on in twilight
conditions and off again when normal outdoor lighting conditions return.
Replacing the
rechargeable battery
The battery should be replaced every 12 months
to ensure optimum performance.
1. Separate the solar cell housing
lamp shade
2
by moving it anti-clockwise.
(see Fig. A). Switch off the lamp with the
ON- / OFF-switch

.
2. Loosen the fastening screws
small cross head screwdriver and then lever
out the battery compartment lid
solar cell housing
1
with the help of a slot
screwdriver (see Fig. B).
3. Remove the fastening screw
On / Off switch
5
, by using a small cross
head screwdriver. Carefully take out the
switch. Take care not to damage the cables
and cable connections (see Fig. C).
4. Exchange the old rechargeable battery
a new one. Take care to the correct polarity,

when inserting the new rechargeable battery.
The polarity is indicated in the battery compartment. The new rechargeable battery has
to have the same technical data like the old one.
5. Now again fasten the On / Off switch
close the battery compartment lid
the On / Off switch

to the position ON.
6. Connect the solar cell housing

and
of the solar lamp to each other (see Fig. D).
Charging the
rechargeable battery
Note that the solar garden light must be switched
on when the battery is charging.
The charging time of the battery when the solar
cell is used depends on the intensity of the sunlight and the angle of incidence of the light on the
solar cell. Place the solar cell as perpendicular as
possible to the angle of incidence of the light. In
this way you will receive the highest light levels.

Maintenance and care
The light-emitting diodes cannot be replaced.
The solar lamp is maintenance-free, except for
any necessary change of battery.
Clean the solar lamp regularly with a dry,
lint-free cloth. Use a slightly dampened cloth
to remove more stubborn dirt.
Troubleshooting
Note: This appliance has delicate electronic
components. This means that if it is placed near
an object that transmits radio signals, it could
cause interference. If you notice that the device is
malfunctioning, remove any sources of interference from the area of the device.
Note: Electrostatic discharges may cause device
to malfunction. In the event of such malfunctions,
remove the batteries briefly and reinsert them.

Error Cause Solution
The light will
not switch on
even though
the sun shone
on the lamp
all day.
The light does
not come on
or comes on
only briefly.
Artificial
sources of
light, e.g.
street lighting,
are interfering
with the lamp.
The rechargeable battery
is broken or
there was
not enough
daylight.
Mount the lamp
in a place where
it cannot be disturbed by other
sources of light.
Replace the rechargeable battery or mount
the lamp in a
place where it
can receive
more sunlight.
Disposal
The packaging is made entirely of
recyclable materials, which you may
dispose of at local recycling facilities.
Contact your local refuse disposal authority for
more details of how to dispose of your worn-out
product.

To help protect the environment, please
dispose of the product properly when
it has reached the end of its useful life
and not in the household waste. Information on collection points and their
opening hours can be obtained from
your local authority.
Defective or exhausted rechargeable batteries
must be recycled in accordance with Directive
2006 / 66 / EC. Return the battery and / or the
device through the appropriate collection facilities.
Improper disposal of recharge-
able batteries can damage the
Pb
environment!
Rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of
with the household refuse. They may contain toxic
heavy metals and require to be handled as special waste. The chemical symbols of heavy metals
are: Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead.
That is why you should dispose of used batteries
at a local collection point.
