SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Used batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable regulations.
•
Batteries must not be incinerated – risk of explosion or leakage.
•
Batteries must not be opened
,
short-circuited or damaged in some other way – risk of personal
injury.
•
Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types.
•
Do not attempt to charge the batteries using a battery charger that is connected to the mains, and
do not attempt to power the solar cell lamp from the mains.
INSTALLATION
Assemble the parts as shown in the picture.
OPERATION
Function
In daylight, the solar panel on the solar cell lamp converts sunlight into electricity and charges the
batteries. When it becomes dark, the LED is lit automatically and is powered by the batteries. The solar
cell lamp is supplied with rechargeable batteries installed. The batteries must be replaced when their
capacity falls.
Position
Position, weather conditions and season all affect the length of time that the batteries can power the LED.
When the solar cell panel has been in sunlight for 8 hours, the solar cell lamp will light for up to 6 hours. If
the solar cell lamp is placed in the shade, the batteries will not charge up fully, resulting in a shorter
period of illumination and shortening the lifetime of the batteries.
Before first use
Remove the plastic guard in the battery compartment. If the solar cell lamp has not lit after 48 hours of
direct sunlight, check that all the batteries are in contact with the terminals and have the correct polarity.
Use
•
Do not position the solar cell lamps close to light sources that come on in the dark, such as
streetlights, as this can result in the LED not coming on.
•
Do not position close to areas where salt, corrosive substances or fertiliser are used.
•
Try not to scratch the surface of the solar panel, and keep the surface free from dust and debris.
•
The LED cannot be replaced.
•
If necessary, wipe off the solar cell lamp with a soft, damp cloth.
