This device may be used by children aged 8 years and up, as well as by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, or lacking experience and/or knowledge, so long as they are supervised or instructed in the safe use of

the device and understand the associated risks. Do not allow children to play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children without supervision.

Do not use the product if you detect any type of damage.
■ Switch the product off whilst storing in a dark environment to prevent draining the battery.

Product-specific safety instructions

■ ISK OF INJURY! Make sure that when the light is removed, the ground stake is also removed, so that it cannot pose any risk (e.g. stumbling over it).
The fairy lights garden set must not be connected with the power supply while it is still in its packaging, provided that the packaging has not been adjusted for exhibition purposes.
■ 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 be diminished.

Cold temperatures negatively impact the battery operating time. If the solar fairy lights will not be used for extended periods, e.g. in winter, they should be cleaned and stored in a dry, warm location.

This product is not

suitable as residential room lighting.

Safety instructions for rechargeable batteries

WARNING!

RISK OF ACCI-DENT AND DAN-

GER TO LIFE FOR INFANTS

AND CHILDREN! Rechargeable batteries are not intended to be in the hands of children. Do not leave the batteries lying around. There is a danger that these will be swallowed by children or pets. If they are accidentally swallowed seek immediate medical attention.

CAUTION! EX-

PLOSION HAZ-

ARD! Use only

rechargeable batteries of the recommended type. Other rechargeable or single-use batteries could explode during charging.

FIRE HAZARD!

Never short-circuit rechargeable batteries. Otherwise the rechargeable batteries may overheat, become a fire hazard or explode.

CAUTION! EX-

PLOSION HAZ-ARD! Never throw

rechargeable batteries into fire or water.

Expired or drained rechargeable batteries may leak chemicals which will damage the product. Therefore remove the rechargeable battery if the fairy lights will not be used for extended periods.

WEAR PROTEC-

TIVE GLOVES!

Leaked or damaged

rechargeable batteries could cause chemical burns on contact with the skin; you should therefore wear suitable protective gloves at all times if such an event occurs.

Only use rechargeable batteries of the correct size and and the recommended type (see section "Technical data").
nsEre correct polarity, indicated in the battery compartment.

- Functionality

The solar cell built into the product converts sunlight into electricity and stores it in a Ni-MH rechargeable battery. The light switches on at dusk. The built-in LED is an energy-saving illuminant with a very long life. The light duration depends on the amount of sunlight, the angle at which light hits the solar panel, and the temperature (the battery capacity varies by temperature). A vertical angle of light at temperatures above the freezing point is ideal. The rechargeable battery will only achieve its maximum capacity after several charging and discharging cycles.

- Initial use

Before first use, remove the protective film from the solar panel.

Assembling the fairy lights

☐ Push the ground spike 3 into the upright tube 4. Then attach the cover 5 to the upright tube 4 (see Fig. A).

Note: Slide the solar cell housing 1 over the cover 5 if this has not been pre-installed (see Fig. A).

1 Guide the fairy lights 11 through the fastening clip 8 with the illuminant facing down (see Fig. B).
② Carefully clamp the fairy lights 11 in the fastening clip 8.
③ Now attach the paper lantern 10.
4 Carefully slide the holder 9
5 into the paper lantern 10 and secure to the grommets 12 (see Fig. B).

Installing the fairy lights

☐ Push the ground spike 3 far enough into the ground (lawn, flower bed) so it is firmly positioned upright in the ground.
☐ Make sure it is firmly positioned. Do not use any force when

assembling or setting up the product, e.g. hammer blows. This will damage the product. For optimal results, hang the solar fairy lights in a location where the solar cell is exposed to sunlight for the longest possible amount of time.

☐ 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 twilight. In low light the light will automatically switch on, and automatically switch off in normal ambient light.

- Switching the fairy lights on/off

☐ Push the AUTO / OFF button 2 to switch the fairy lights on. The fairy lights 11 will automatically switch on or off at twilight.
☐ Push the AUTO / OFF button 2 again to switch the fairy lights 11 off.

●Replacing the rechargeable battery

Note: For optimal performance, the rechargeable battery should be replaced every 12 months.

☐ Remove the solar cell housing 1 from the cover 5.
☐ Press the AUTO / OFF button 2 to switch the fairy lights off.
☐ Remove the fixing screws 7 using a small cross-tip screw-driver. Then open the battery cover on the solar cell housing 1 using a flat-head screw-driver.

☐ Replace the old battery with a new one; be sure not to damage the cables. Be sure to insert the batteries in the correct direction. This is indicated in the battery compartment. Use only rechargeable batteries of the recommended type (see "Technical data").

☐ Close the battery cover and tighten the retaining screws 7 using a small cross-tip screw-driver.

☐ Push the AUTO / OFF button 2 to switch the fairy lights on.

☐ Slide the solar cell housing 1 back onto the cover 5 (see Fig. A).

Charging

The battery charging period using the solar cell depends on the intensity of the sunlight and the angle incidence of the light on the solar cell. Place the solar cell as perpendicular as possible to the angle of light incidence. In this way you will receive the highest light levels.

●Maintenance and cleaning

The LEDs cannot be replaced. The solar fairy lights are maintenance free except for replacing the battery.

☐ Regularly clean the solar fairy lights with a dry, lint-free cloth. Use a slightly moist cloth to remove any stubborn dirt.

- Troubleshooting

Note: The device contains sensitive electronic components. Radio transmitting equipment in the immediate vicinity may therefore cause interference. If you notice the device is malfunctioning, remove any sources of interference from the area around the device.

Note: Electrostatic discharge can lead to malfunctions. In the event of such malfunctions, briefly remove and reinsert the rechargeable batteries.

Error Cause Solution
The light will not switch on although the fairy lights have been exposed to sunlight all day.	Artificial light, e.g. street light, will interfere with the fairy lights.	Install the fairy lights in a location where they will not be affected by other light sources.
The light does not come on or comes on only briefly.	The rechargeable battery is broken or there was not enough daylight.	Replace the rechargeable battery or install the fairy lights in a location where they are exposed to more sunlight.
