Installation:
Charge the batteries for at least 8 hours before using for the first time
Look for a very brightly lit position, possible with direct sunshine, in order to receive a maximum of
sunlight during daylight hours.
Any covering and any shadow falling on the solar unit impairs the charging function of the rechargeable
battery and also the brightness and duration of the LEDS.
You have the option of fastening the solar unit into the ground by using the supplied ground spike.
Please do not use any force or extreme pressure when you are pushing the ground spike into the
ground. Please do not use a hammer or similar tool to do this.
Lay the LED lighting chain at the desired place. Make sure that the lighting chain is sufficiently fastened
and that the illuminant, supply lines or solar unit are not damaged. Make sure when laying the cable that
there are no obstacles to trip over.
The LED lighting chain starts to light up when there is sufficient darkness. Sources of light, from street
lights, or other lights, for example can lead to the LED lighting chain not switching on. A new location
must be specified in this case.
This LED lighting chain is provided with a light sensor. In the switch position "ON" or “OFF” the lighting
chain automatically switches on at sunset and off at sunrise.
The rechargeable battery can be changed when capacity reduces: the lighting strength will be weaker or
lights up for a shorter period of time, for example. Switch off the LED lighting chain and remove the top
part of the solar unit from the lower part by unscrewing the screws. Only use NiMh 1.2V/400mAh
rechargeable batteries. Do not use any batteries which cannot be recharged. Make sure that you have
the correct polarity when you are inserting the new rechargeable batteries. Replace the top part back
onto the bottom part and screw them together again after the batteries have been replaced.
The name plate must not be removed.
