Troubleshooting
NOTE
The device contains delicate electronic
components. For this reason it is possible
that it can be disrupted by radio trans-
mitting equipment in the immediate
vicinity. These could be e.g. mobiles,
two-way radios, CB radios, wireless re-
mote controls/other remote controls and
microwaves. If you notice that the device
is malfunctioning, remove any sources of
interference from the area of the device.
NOTE
Electrostatic discharges can lead to
malfunctions. In the event of such mal-
functions briefly remove and reinsert the
rechargeable batteries.
NOTE
The power of the rechargeable battery
varies according to the weather and will
be higher in summer than in winter.

Maintenance/ Cleaning
The LEDs cannot be replaced. The solar light is
maintenance-free.
Never use caustic cleaners.
Regularly clean the solar light with a dry, lint-
free cloth. Use a slightly moist cloth to remove
any stubborn dirt.
Replace the rechargeable batteries if the light
on time decreases noticeably after some time
despite good sun exposure (see chapter „Re-
placing the battery“). Only use rechargeable
batteries of the right size and of the recom-
mended type (see section „Technical data“).
