The LEDs are not dimmable and cannot be replaced.
The rechargeable batteries are inserted into the solar module
before the product is shipped.
1. Remove the protective film from the solar module.
2. Attach the holder to the ground spike. Slide the holder into
the hole on the back of the solar module.
3. Select a suitable mounting location with a soft surface. Rocky
surfaces may damage the ground spike. Carefully insert the
ground spike into the ground and ensure that it is securely in
place.
Place the solar module in a place with good access to light
so that the solar cell can charge the batteries during the day.
The solar module should not be covered or placed in the
shade (e.g. from trees or buildings).
4. Place the lightchain in the desired position..
5. Before using the light chain for the first time, leave it to

Important notes
• The power of the solar module varies according to the time of
year and depends on the duration and strength of the sunlight.
• Keep the solar panel clean. Dust and dirt reduce the eciency
of the solar panel, resulting in a lower charging current.
• During poor weather, you can remove the batteries and
charge them with a suitable battery charger. Always follow
the instructions in this manual when removing/replacing the
batteries.
Replacing the batteries
• Replace the batteries when you notice a significant drop in the
battery life despite sucient charging.
