Maintenance
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.
Trouble Shooting
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 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.
Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
NOTE
: The performance of the solar light 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.
WINTERTIME TIPS:
For optimal performance, be sure to remove any snow or debris
accumulation from solar panel(s). A solar panel free of debris will charge the
batteries much more efficiently.
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.
