Assembly and Operation
The solar panel produces electricity in the presence of sunlight. The amount of
electricity produced increases as the sunlight becomes stronger. Less power is
produced in less sunlight, but the panels will generate electricity even on cloudy
days.
This product includes Ni-CD rechargeable batteries to store energy created during
the day for use in the light at other times.
The Lamp uses an energy efficient LED light which operates when the Power
Switch is in the ON position and the Photo Eye determines that it is dark outside.
Mounting the Lantern:
1.
Select a location for the solar lantern that will allow sufficient sunlight to
charge the batteries during the day, and will also be attractive during the
evening. Also, to prevent the lantern from unintentionally lighting, keep it away
from any nearby light source.
2.
The Lantern has a Mounting Handle at the top, which can be used to hang the
Lantern. Also, the Lantern can be placed on a table top or other secure flat
surface.
NOTE: the location selected must be able to support the weight of the
Lantern, and any additional stress that may be placed on it by wind, etc.
CAUTION: Whenever drilling holes or mounting screws check to be sure that
no wires, pipes or other utilities are in the path of the holes or screws.
CAUTION: The solar panels are rigid , and may be damaged by bending or twisting.
