Troubleshooting
Clean the solar panels regularly with a damp towel to guarantee optimum performance. Do not use any type of
solvent for cleaning and be careful not to put too much pressure on the solar panels while cleaning.
WARNING:
Do not dispose of Li-Ion batteries in the regular trash, municipal waste stream or by 昀椀re 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.
If your solar light does not come on as expected despite observance of all the instructions, please try the
following steps:
1. Make sure that the solar lamp is not being affected by any other light source.
2. Ensure the solar lamp is not positioned in the shade during the day.
3. Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
NOTE:
The performance of the solar lamp will vary with the time of year. It will last longer when it has had a full
day in the sun rather than a day in overcast weather.
WARNING:
Please keep out of reach of children. Do not dispose of the 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.

panel(s). A solar panel free of debris will charge the batteries much more efficiently.
