How Your Solar Garden Product Works
During the day, the solar panel converts sunlight into electricity and recharges the battery(ies) inside
the solar panel. At night, the light turns on automatically using the electricity stored during the day.
The number of hours the light stays on at night depends on you location and the availability and
intensity of sunlight during the day. Under normal conditions, if the solar panel is charged in full,
direct sunlight all day, the light should stay lit for several hours at night.
Picking the Right Spot/Inserting Stake Lights
Select a garden, lawn or similar location in full, direct sunlight where your solar product can receive
at least 6-8 hours of daily sunlight. Shadowed locations will not allow the battery(ies) to charge fully
and will reduce the hours of nighttime lighting.
Do NOT
select locations near nighttime light sources
such as streetlights, flood lights or other strong outdoor or home lighting. This may cause the solar
lights to turn off automatically.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damaging garden stakes when inserting into the ground, select a spot in
soft, rock-
free, “garden-ready” soil. Insert the base of the stake first then gently insert the rest of the
stake into the base.
Do NOT
push directly against the solar cell or the ornament housing containing
the actual LED light.
Using Your Solar Garden Product the 1
st
Time
Leave the power switch on the
“ON”
position until the solar panel has been charged in direct
sunlight for 6-8 hours. This allows the rechargeable battery(ies) to reach maximum capacity.
If the
light does not come on after a full day of charging
, check to be sure the power switch is in the
“ON”
position and that the solar cell is in a bright, sunny spot rather than in the shade. The light will
automatically turn on at dusk and off at dawn.
Tips for Optimal Year Round Operation
Your garden lights are sprinkler and rain resistant. However, you should periodically wipe away any
dust that may gather on the solar panel with a damp cloth and keep snow and debris clear of the
solar panel. Otherwise the internal battery(ies) may not recharge properly. If the solar panel is
covered by dust, snow or other debris for an extended period of time, after cleaning, please allow the
battery(ies) to recharge in direct, full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours.
Replacing & Disposing of Batteries!
Depending on the model, your product will contain either 1 or 2 AA Ni-Cd or Ni-Mh rechargeable
batteries which will generally need to be replaced every 12 months to ensure consistent
performance.
1.
Push the power switch to “OFF” position.
2.
Unscrew the battery housing.
3.
Remove the old battery(ies) and replace it/them with a new AA Ni-Cd or Ni-Mh
rechargeable battery(ies).
The battery mechanism is spring-loaded. Press in the opposite side of the spring and lift out the
battery(ies). Reverse this process when installing a new battery(ies).
Preserve our environment by recycling the batteries or dispose of them in accordance with local,
state and federal guidelines. Do NOT dispose of batteries in the regular trash, municipal waste,
streams or by fire as the batteries may leak or explode. Do NOT open, mutilate or short-circuit the
batteries as this could result in injury.
