• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and

protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed

if the product:

- is visibly damaged,

- is no longer working properly,

- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or

- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.

• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage the product.

Location

• Insert the ground spike (6) into a level and suf-

ciently rm surface (e.g. soil). A stony subsurface

will cause damage to the ground spike.

Hold the ground spike while inserting. Do not hold the lamp head (1). This helps prevent damage to the lamp head.

Make sure the ground spike is inserted securely and cannot tip over.

• To optimize charging, place the solar panel (2) in a location exposed to maximum sunlight. Do not set up the solar panel in the shade or under any cover.

• Do not install the product in the direct proximity of other light sources such as yard or street lights, otherwise the product will not switch on automatically at nightfall.

• The product is suitable for use in unprotected outdoor areas. Do not submerge!

Solar charging

When using for the rst time or after prolonged periods of low sunlight, you should fully recharge the battery.

Operation

For rst time use, remove the battery insulation strip. See section “Operation -

a) First time use and light on”.

a) First time use and light on

This product comes with a battery installed. For rst time use, you must remove the battery

insulation strip to activate the power supply.

1. Gently turn the lamp head (1) anticlockwise to unlock, then remove it from the base (3).

2. Find the battery insulation strip on the bottom of the lamp head (1) and simply pull the battery insulation strip out of the battery compartment.

3. Reattach the lamp head to the base (2).

When detaching or reattaching the lamp head from the base, make sure no moisture

enters the battery compartment.

Battery insulation sheet

• When the battery insulation sheet is removed, the LED light turns on automatically during darkness.

• When the ambient light reaches a certain brightness level, the LED light will turn off.

If required, carry out a performance test in a dark room.

b) Notes on battery use and charging

• The battery can be fully charged for eight hours in sunny weather, which can light the product for approximately eight hours.

• Keep the product clean. Dust and dirt covering the solar panel reduces charging efciency.

• During extended periods without sufcient sunlight (especially in winter), the rechargeable

battery charges less energy during the day than the lights use at night. So it is possible

that the rechargeable battery’s charge state will only light the product for a brief time only.

• Cold temperatures adversely affect the battery life. To ensure long, error-free operation, we recommend storing the product in a dry, warm location when not in use.

• You can remove the rechargeable battery before storing the product and charge it with a

suitable charger. Observe all relevant information provided in these operating instructions

regarding removing or replacing the rechargeable battery.

c) Remove/Insert rechargeable battery

Replace the rechargeable battery if the illumination time reduces signicantly de-

spite the battery being sufciently charged.

When replacing the rechargeable battery, make sure no moisture enters the battery

1. Remove the lamp head (1) from the base (3). See section “Operation - a) First time use
