5. Exchange of the rechargeable Battery
On average, the battery in the light globe has to be exchanged by a new
and identical in construction battery every two years. Used here is a NiMh
battery of the size (AAA, Micro) with 1.2 V/ 600 mAh. In case you should not
be able to find a 600 mAh battery at your retailer’s, you may at any time use a
battery with a higher capacity. A replacement battery is available from your
retailer or the manufacturer under www.esotec.de
Proceed as follows when exchanging the battery:
1. Unscrew the globe anti-clockwise from the bottom part and take off the
globe.
2. Loosen the two screws with a suitable screwdriver and carefully take off the
part with the solar module (illustration 4).
3. Carefully take the battery on the backside from the bracket and replace it by
a new, identical in construction battery (illustration 5).
Note: Please only use a new rechargeable battery of the same size (Micro,
AAA) and identical or higher capacity. It is recommended to charge the
battery in a battery charger before inserting it.
4. Now reattach the upper part with the solar module and tighten the
screws with a suitable screwdriver.
5. Now carefully screw the globe back onto the bottom part.
Note: The globe has to be closed tightly in order to avoid the ingress of
water into the globe. When screwing the globe on, make sure that the
thread is not twisted and that the symbol of the closed lock is between
the two marks in the bottom part (illustration 3). Only then, the globe is
closed tightly and correctly.
The lamp is now ready for operation again!
6. Malfunctions
Globe has no function!
Remedy: Battery in the light globe has reached the end of its lifetime
(exchange it every 2 years at the latest!)? See item 5.
Remedy: No sunshine during the day. When the sky is cloudy and
without sunshine, the installed battery is not charged sufficiently! Wait
for a sunny day!
Remedy: Was the strip pulled out completely when putting the globe
into operation for the first time? See instructions item 4.
