Clean the solar module regularly with a damp towel to guarantee optimum performance of the solar
panel. Do not use any type of solvent for cleaning and be careful not to put too much pressure on the
module while cleaning.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your solar charged light does not come on at dusk despite observance of all the instructions, please
try the following steps:
1. Make sure that the solar light is not being affected by any other light source.
2. Ensure the solar light is not positioned in the shade during the day.
3. Make sure the switch is NOT in the “OFF” position.
4. Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
NOTE: The performance of the solar lamp will vary with the time of year. It will deliver more light when
it has had a full day in the sun rather than a day in overcast weather.
WINTERTIME TIPS: Keep snow and debris cleaned off the solar panels so the batteries
can recharge. If the lights are covered with snow for an extended period of time, after the
snow melts, allow all the batteries to charge in full, direct sunlight for at least 6 hours to
their maximum capacity.
WARNING: Please keep out of reach of children. Do not dispose of Li-Ion battery in the regular trash,
municipal waste stream or by fire as batteries may leak or explode. Do not open, short circuit, or
mutilate batteries as injury may occur. Preserve our environment by recycling Li-Ion batteries or
disposing of them in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Do not mix old and new
batteries.
