WARNING DANGER TO LIFE AND RISK OF ACCIDENT TO BABIES AND INFANTS!
Never leave children unattended around packaging. Risk of suffocation. Children often underestimate risk.
This device may be used by children age 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. Children should not be allowed to play with the device. 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
■ 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 diminish.
- Cold temperatures negatively impact the battery operating time. If the solar garden light will not be used for extended periods, e.g. in winter, it 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 DANGER TO LIFE AND RISK OF ACCIDENT TO BABIES AND INFANTS!
Rechargeable batteries are not intended to be in the hands of children. Do not leave the batteries lying around. They may otherwise be swallowed by children or pets. If accidentally swallowed seek immediate medical attention.
CAUTION! EXPLOSION
HAZARD! Use only rechargeable batteries of the recommended type.
Other rechargeable or single-use batteries could explode during charging.
FIRE HAZARD! Do not allow rechargeable batteries to short-circuit. Otherwise the rechargeable
batteries may overheat, become a fire hazard or explode.
CAUTION! EXPLOSION
HAZARD! Never throw rechargeable batteries into fire or water.
Outdated or used rechargeable batteries may leak chemicals which damage the product. Remove, therefore, the rechargeable battery when the lamp is not required for any length of time.
WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES! If
they come into contact with skin, leaked or damaged rechargeable
batteries could cause chemical burns; you should therefore wear suitable protective gloves at all times if such an event occurs.
■ Only use rechargeable batteries of the correct size and the recommended type (see section "Technical Data").
■ Ensure correct polarity, indicated in the battery compartment.
Functionality
The integrated solar cell of the article converts solar radiation into electrical energy and stores it in the NiMH rechargeable battery. Switches on the light as it begins to get dark. 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 of light on the solar panel and the temperature (the battery capacity is temperature-dependent).
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.
Start-up
Mounting the light
Connect the earthing spike with the extension 6 (Fig. A and B). Pay attention to the tapering 7 on the side of extension.
☐ Next insert the earthing spike into the ground at the desired location.
In a clockwise direction, screw the mosaic ball 1 over the LED 2 onto the rod with the solar cell housing 3 (Fig. A and B).
☐ Insert the rod with solar cell housing onto the extension 6 (Fig. A and B).
☐ Close the solar cell housing with battery compartment 4 (Fig. C).
Installing the light
☐ Push the assembled solar light far enough into the ground (lawn, flower bed) so it is stable. Follow the steps for assembly from the chapter entitled „Mounting the light”.
☐ 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. In order to achieve the best result, set the solar garden lamp up in a place where the solar cell will get direct sunlight for as long as possible.
☐ 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.
● Replacing the rechargeable battery
The batteries should be replaced every 12 months to ensure optimum performance.
☐ The device is powered from a rechargeable battery of type R6/AA 1.2V 300mAh Ni-MH (comes with device).
☐ Push the ON/OFF switch to the „OFF” position.
Open the solar cell housing / battery compartment 4.
☐ Release the fixing screws using a small Phillips screwdriver. Next, prise open the battery compartment lid of the solar cell housing 4 using a slotted screwdriver.
- Replace the old battery; be careful not to damage the cables. Observe the correct polarity when inserting the battery. The polarity is indicated in the battery compartment 4. Only use batteries of the recommended type (see „Technical data”).
☐ Close the battery compartment. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, tighten the fixing screws.
☐ Push the ON/OFF switch into the „ON” position.
☐ Close the solar cell housing / battery compartment 4.
- Charging the battery
Please note, the solar garden light must be switched on when the battery is 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 lamp is maintenance-free, except for any necessary change of battery.
- Do not use solvents, e.g. petrol, etc. This damages the product.
- Clean the solar lamp regularly with a dry, non-fluffing cloth. Use a slightly moist cloth to remove any stubborn dirt.
Troubleshooting
Note: The device contains sensitive electronic components. For this reason it is possible that it can be disrupted by radio transmitting equipment in the immediate vicinity. If you notice that the device is malfunctioning, remove any sources of interference from the area of the device.
Note: Electrostatic discharge can cause malfunctions. In the event of such malfunctions briefly remove and reinsert the rechargeable batteries.
| Fault Cause | Solution | |
| The light will not switch on even though the sun shone on the lamp all day. | Artificial sources of light, e.g. street lighting, interfere with the lamp. | Place the light in a location where it 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 mount the lamp in a place where it can receive more sunlight. |
