NOTE

The batteries are preinstalled on delivery.

To insert the batteries 15 in the device, open the battery compartment cover by unscrewing the 4 Phillips screws in the battery compartment cover 8

◆ Insert 3 x 1.2 V batteries into the battery compartment. Please observe the polarity, which is marked in the battery compartment. Otherwise the device will not work and can be damaged.

◆ Close the battery compartment lid 8 and ensure that the seal is inserted.

Battery charge level display

The battery condition is displayed using a red illuminated or blinking LED ⑥ the movement sensor . ⑤

LED 6 lit: batteries full

LED 6 fl ashing: batteries empty

Charging the batteries with the USB charging cable

You can charge the supplied batteries 15 directly in the device using the USB charging cable 16 provided. First, remove the rubber plugs from the connection socket 12. Now insert the USB charging cable 13 into the connection socket 12nd connect the USB charging cable 13 with your computer or a USB adaptor. Charging takes between 5 and 10 hours depending on how much the batteries 15 have discharged.

NOTE

The red LED flashes during charging.

Charging the batteries with the collector panel

During the day, the solar cells convert sunlight into electricity and charge the batteries.

The number of operating hours depends on how long and intensively the sun shines on the collector panel 10. For the best results, place your solar lamp at a location where sunlight shines directly on to the collector panel 10. Direct sunshine of at least 8 hours duration is ideal for completely charging the batteries. The location must be free from shadow and shade.

◆ Ensure that the movement sensor 5 is not influenced by direct sunlight or other light sources. This can result in malfunctions.

Set-up location requirements

This device complies with protection class IP44. This means that the device is protected from dust and water spray, and can be used regardless of the weather conditions. However, proper protection from water spray is only provided if the device is correctly closed and all seals are intact and clean.

Please be aware that protection from water spray is only provided to a limited extent if the USB charging cable 13 is used.

CAUTION

▶ Never set the device up without the earth spike 14

■ The supplied earth spike ^14 comes in two parts. You can either use it with both components fixed together, or only use one component to achieve a lower height.

■ Insert the earth spike 14 into the fixing for the earth spike 11.

In order to guarantee optimum movement detection, the device must be located so that the movement sensor ⚙ pointing in the direction of the area to be monitored.
