Before Each Use
Solar lights require sunlight to function properly. Extended periods of cloudy weather will cause
shorter runtimes. Shade on the solar panel is to be avoided. The solar panel may be cleaned with a
clean damp cloth. Do not use soap, solvents, or abrasives. A regular visual inspection is
recommended. Ensure the solar panel is free from debris and in a location where it will receive
several hours of sunlight each day. Ensure the light is facing the desired direction and that there are
no nearby alternate light sources that may interfere with the motion sensor.
Assembly Instructions
Installing the Light
Choose a location where the solar panel can receive the most exposure to direct sunlight
the pole. Close and tighten both metal straps so the light will stay in place. For smaller poles a
sizer may be required. Adjust the lamp head to the desired position.
Operating Instructions
1. Before the light can operate to its full capacity, allow the unit to charge in sunlight for 2 days with
the solar panel wire connected to the light. Charging should be done with the unit in the
Auto
position.
2. Located at rear of the solar panel there is an OFF/AUTO switch:
•
AUTO position - The light will turn on automatically when there is no longer ambient light.
Typically this happens just after dusk. If the light does not turn on at dusk, check for other
light sources that may be interfering with the sensor.
•
OFF position - The light will remain off and will not turn on during the day or night.
Choosing the Location of the Light
Solar powered lights require sunlight to
recharge the internal batteries. For best results, place the solar panel in a position where it will
receive direct sunlight, generally free from cover and shade.
