The switch
12
on the light head
2
(Fig. C) features the following functions:
Position „OFF“:
Motion sensor
7
and light head
2
are off. In direct sunlight the rechargeable
batteries are charged by the solar cell
1
. Use this setting to charge drained
batteries (see „Charging the rechargeable
batteries“).
Position „ECO“:
The solar cell charges the rechargeable batteries in sunlight. The light head
2
automatically switches on or off once the solar cell
1
detects dusk or dawn. To
ensure a long life the LEDs will not be fully powered in this setting, but only pro-
vide approx. 25 % of their full light power (eco mode). When fully charged, the
rechargeable batteries will provide approx. 8 hours of light in this setting.
Position „PIR“:
The solar cell charges the rechargeable batteries in sunlight. The solar cell
1
automatically switches the light head
2
on in twilight or the dark when the mo-
tion sensor
7
detects movement. The light on time is preset to approx. 1.5 min-
utes. If additional movement is detected during these 1.5 minutes, the light on
time will reset. In this setting the LEDs will be fully powered. With the rechargea-
ble batteries fully charged the charge on this setting will provide light for a total
of approx. 2 hours.
Maintenance / changing rechargeable batteries
To ensure good solar cell
1
performance the solar cell must be cleaned regularly (see „Cleaning
and care“).
Change the rechargeable batteries according to the instruction in Fig. B and C.
Slide the switch
12
to the „OFF“ position.
Remove the LED-cover
3
.
Carefully press the clips on the battery compartment cover together and lift the battery compart-
ment cover.
Remove the rechargeable batteries from the battery compartment
10
and replace with new re-
chargeable batteries with the same technical data. Be sure to insert the batteries in the correct di-
rection. The correct polarity is shown inside the battery compartment.
Winter-time use
The low amount of sunlight may reduce the light ON time at night depending on the on-time. Due to
the low position of the sun please also verify the solar cell
1
is out of shade throughout the day in
winter and remove ice and snow as necessary.
If the light on time is inadequate due to the weather, recharge or replace the rechargeable batteries
(see „Charging the rechargeable
batteries“ or „Maintenance / changing rechargeable batteries“).
Cleaning and Care
Switch off the product before cleaning.
Use a slightly dampened, lint-free cloth and mild cleaning agent to clean.
Regular check the motion sensor
7
and solar cell
1
particularly for dirt.
Regularly clean the motion sensor and solar cell to ensure proper functionality.
Especially keep the solar cell free of snow and ice in winter.
