Charging the rechargeable batteries
The rechargeable batteries are delivered fully charged. In direct
sunlight the rechargeable batteries are charged by the built-in solar
panel
10
. They can also be charged using the enclosed USB charg-
ing cable
13
.
Charging the rechargeable batteries with the solar panel
The product‘s solar panel
10
converts sunlight into electrical energy
and stores it in the rechargeable batteries.
To ensure optimal rechargeable battery charging, position the
product in a place, in which the solar panel
10
is exposed to
direct sunlight. To fully charge unloaded batteries, the solar
panel
10
must be exposed to at least 8 hours of direct sunlight.
Charging the rechargeable
batteries with the USB
charging cable
Especially during the darker times of the year, depending on the
length of time for which the product is activated each day, you
may find that sunlight does not provide the rechargeable batteries
with enough energy. However, you can charge the rechargeable
batteries using the enclosed USB charging cable
13
and your
computer or a standard USB adapter (not included in delivery).
This charging process must be carried out indoors because the splash
protection no longer works when the DC charging socket
12
is open.
