Safety instructions for batteries/rechargeable batteries

DANGER TO LIFE! Keep batteries/re-chargeable batteries out of reach of children. If accidentally swallowed seek immediate medical attention.

Swallowing may lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue, and death. Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion.

DANGER OF EXPLOSION!

Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Do not short-circuit batteries/rechargeable batteries and/or open them. Overheating, fire or bursting can be the result.

Never throw batteries / rechargeable batteries into fire or water.

Do not exert mechanical loads on batteries / rechargeable batteries.

Risk of leakage of batteries / rechargeable batteries

Avoid extreme environmental conditions and temperatures, which could affect batteries / rechargeable batteries, e.g. radiators / direct sunlight.

If batteries / rechargeable batteries have leaked, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes with the chemicals! Flush immediately the affected areas with fresh water and seek medical attention!

WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES!

Leaked or damaged batteries / rechargeable batteries can cause burns on contact with the skin. Wear suitable protective gloves at all times if such an event occurs.

In the event of a leakage of batteries / rechargeable batteries, immediately remove them from the product to prevent damage.

Remove batteries / rechargeable batteries if the product will not be used for a longer period.

Risk of damage of the product

Only use the specified type of battery / rechargeable battery! - Insert batteries / rechargeable batteries according to polarity marks (+) and (-) on the battery / rechargeable battery and the product. Use a dry lint-free cloth or cotton swab to clean the contacts on the battery / rechargeable battery and in the battery compartment before inserting! Remove exhausted batteries/rechargeable batteries from the product immediately.

Functioning

The solar cell installed in the product converts sunlight into electrical energy and stores it in 1 Ni-MH rechargeable battery. Switch on the product with the ON/OFF switch 8. The product will automatically light on as it begins to get dark. The in-built LED is a very long-life and energy-saving light source. The light duration depends on the amount of sunlight, the angle of light on the solar cell and the temperature (the rechargeable battery capacity is temperature-dependent). A vertical angle of light at temperatures above the freezing point is ideal. The rechargeable battery 10 does not achieve maximum capacity until after several charge and discharge cycles.

● Preparing for use

Note: Remove all packaging materials from the product.

• Installing the product

Install the product in accordance with Figures A, C:

1. Move the ON / OFF switch 8 into the ON position to switch the light on.
2. Insert the decorative bird 1 into the housing 4.
3. Place the housing 4 on to the pole 5.
4. Take out the ground stake 6 and insert it into the pole 5 with the tip facing downwards.
5. Your product is ready for use.

- Setting up the product

☐ Insert the assembled product far enough into the ground (lawn, flower bed) for it to be stable. Make sure you keep proper footing and balance at all times. 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 product up in a place where the solar cell will get direct sunlight for as long as possible. ☐ Make sure that the solar cell is not influenced by any other source of light such as yard or street lighting as otherwise the light will not come on in twilight. ☐ The light automatically switches on in twilight conditions and off again when normal outdoor lighting conditions return.

- Replacing the rechargeable battery

The rechargeable battery should be replaced every 12 months to ensure optimum performance.

1. Switch off the light with the ON-/OFF-switch 8.
2. Loosen the fastening screws 7 by using a small cross head screwdriver and then lever out the battery compartment cover 9 with the help of a slot screwdriver (see Fig. B).
3. Take care not to damage the cables and cable connections (see Fig. B).
4. Replace the old rechargeable battery [10] with a new one. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the new rechargeable battery. The polarity is indicated in the battery compartment. The new rechargeable battery must have the same technical specifications as the old one.
5. Now reattach the battery compartment cover [9] and tighten the fastening screws [7] using a small cross-head screwdriver. Slide the ON/OFF switch [8] to the ON position.

● Charging the rechargeable battery

Note that the product must be switched on when the rechargeable battery is charging.

The charging time of the rechargeable battery when using the solar cell depends on the intensity of sunlight and the angle of incidence of light on the solar cell. Place the solar cell as perpendicular as possible to the angle of incidence of light. This way, you will receive the highest light levels.

● Maintenance and care

The LED cannot be replaced. The product is maintenance-free, except for any necessary replacement of the rechargeable battery.

☐ Clean the product regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth. Use a slightly dampened cloth to remove more stubborn dirt.
