ABOUT YOUR SOLAR FLAG LIGHT
Your MAXSA Solar Flag Light converts sunlight into electricity during the day, enabling the Super bright LED light to turn on automatically at night to light up your flag.
Your Solar Flag Light can light for up to 6.5 hours at full power and 13 hours at half power/brightness when the battery is fully charged. The 3 sealed rechargeable AA size NiMH 1200 mAh batteries included with this product should last for many years before they need to be replaced.
INCLUDED PARTS
Carefully remove and identify all the parts from their protective packaging and lay them out in front of you.
HOW TO INSTALL YOUR SOLAR FLAG LIGHT
MOUNTING TO A FLAGPOLE
To mount on a flagpole, position the flagpole mounting bracket supplied against the flagpole and run the two supplied metal bands through the bracket as shown.
Put the bracket up to the pole and close the metal bands around the pole, making sure the bands are pulled tight so the light is firmly secured.
CAUTION: Do not tighten the metal bands until your Solar Flag Light is placed where you want it. The bands cannot be reopened.*
CHOOSING A SUITABLE LOCATION
Position the solar panel so that it faces the southern sky. Placing the panel in a shaded location will not allow the batteries to charge fully, reducing the number of hours the light will operate per evening.
The Solar Powered Flag Light is equipped with a lightsensitive trigger to automatically turn the light on at dusk. For best performance, ensure that the Flood Light is not placed near nighttime light sources such as porch lighting and street lighting.
OPERATING YOUR SOLAR FLAG LIGHT
BEFORE USING YOUR SOLAR FLAG LIGHT
If you are able to: Charge the batteries without activating the unit by keeping the power switch turned off on the main body for three days while your solar panel is in direct sunlight. This will ensure that the batteries in your Solar Flag Light have a full charge prior to normal operation.
After the initial 3 day charge of your Solar Flag Light, press the switch on the main body to the ON position to make the light turn on automatically after sundown. Set the switch to the OFF position to turn on the light manually. Your Solar Flag Light is now ready for use.
Depending on how long you prefer the light to last, you can double the light duration and reduce the brightness by pushing the bright­ness control switch so that you get 5 -6 hours of light at full brightness or 10-12 hours at ½ brightness so you can light up your flag all night.
NOTE: When you first turn th light ON, it should activate immedi­ately, regardless of lighting conditions or motion. This is a test activa­tion to show there is power flowing from the battery to the light. It should last roughly 5 seconds. After this test activation, the light will function based on the dial settings mentioned below.

STORAGE
If you wish to store the light indoors for more than two or three days, press the power button to the OFF position to prevent damaging the batteries.
MAINTENANCE
The LED lights in your Solar Flag Light will last up to 30,000 hours and should never need replace­ment.
To keep your Solar Flag Light looking new, keep the lens free of dust and deposits by wiping occasionally with a dry cloth or with warm soapy water if necessary. A dirty solar panel will not allow the batteries to fully charge and this will shorten the life of the batteries and may cause the light to malfunction.
CHANGING THE BATTERIES
The included rechargeable batteries will last approximately 3 years. The battery can be accessed by removing the rear panel. Remove the 4 corner screws to reveal the battery compartment.
The batteries we use are 3 pieces AA size 1200 mAh .1.2V Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
