Battery replacement
NOTE
:
Use two AA size, 600mAh, 1.2V Nickel Metal Hydride
rechargeable batteries. For best performance, replace with two
Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries annually. Do not mix
old and new batteries or batteries of different ratings.
IMPORTANT
:
Dispose of the battery in accordance with local,
state, and federal regulations.
IMPORTANT
:
When storing any solar product for an extended
period of time, remove the batteries. Storing any solar product
without regular recharge or removal of batteries could cause
permanent damage to the rechargeable batteries.

Unscrew the battery cover (E) from the back of the solar assembly
(A) and remove it.
□
Remove the old batteries (D). Replace with two new AA size, 1.2V
Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. The recommended
replacement battery capacity should be 900~1200mAh.
□
Replace the battery cover (E) with the four screws.
Care and Cleaning
Periodic cleaning of the solar panel and glass housing is quick and easy:
□
The solar panel should be cleaned periodically with a damp cloth to help maintain optimum performance.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
The nightly run time is
shorter.
The battery is not fully charged.
Ensure the solar light is located in an area where it can
receive the maximum amount of full, direct sunlight every
day. Keeping the solar panel clean is equally important to
ensure the maximum charging performance.
The battery is reaching the end of its useful life.
Replace the old batteries with two new Nickel Metal
Hydride (Ni-MH) rechargeable batteries.
The solar light does not
turn on at night.
Your solar light is equipped with an AUTO/OFF switch
on the back of the solar box. This switch must be set to
AUTO prior to use.
Prior to use, check that the unit has been set to the AUTO
position and allowed to charge a full sunny day.
The solar light is installed close to other light sources,
which may keep the solar light from turning on at night
automatically.
Relocate the fixture or eliminate other light sources.
