:
Dispose of the old 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.

Use one AAA size, 400mAh, 1.2V Nickel Metal
Hydride rechargeable battery. For best performance,
replace with a Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable
battery annually.
□ Remove the solar box (B) from the glass lantern
assembly (A).
□ Remove the two screws securing the bottom plate
(E) to the back of the solar box (B), and remove the
bottom plate (E).
□ Remove the old battery (D). Replace it with a new
AAA size, 1.2V Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable
battery. The recommended replacement battery

screws previously removed through the bottom plate
(E) and into the back of the solar box (B).

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. Keep the solar
panel clean to ensure that the battery receives
maximum charge and performs properly.
The battery needs to be replaced.
Replace the old battery with a Nickel Metal
Hydride (Ni-MH) rechargeable battery.
The solar light does
not turn on at night.
Your solar light is equipped with an ON/OFF
switch on the back of the solar box. This
switch must be set to ON prior to use.
Prior to use, check that the unit has been set
to the ON position and is allowed to charge for
a full sunny day.
The solar light is installed close to other light
sources, which may keep the solar light from
automatically turning on at night.
Relocate the fixture, or eliminate other light
sources.
