Step 5: Close the battery door and tighten the screw
Step 6: Remove the solar panel protection film.
NOTE:
- USE ONLY the rechargeable 3.6V Ni-MH battery-pack provided.
- Do NOT use battery of different type.
- It is recommendable to wrap water-resistant tape over the socket for extra protection against
moisture and salinity in air.
3.1.3 ADJUST THE SOLAR PANEL
The tilting angle of solar panel can be adjusted vertically from 0° into 15°, 30°, 45° and 60°
positions depending on the area you are living in. For optimal power output year-round, please
set the tilt angle that is closest to your latitude.
