Operation
Before using for the first time, remove the protective film from the rechargeable battery
compartment. Then fully charge the rechargeable batteries. The charging time is approx.
8 hours in direct sunlight.
• The solar unit with rechargeable battery compartment is located in the bottom of the lamp.
Also see the section “Removing/replacing the rechargeable batteries". Remove the base
cover (2) by unscrewing it counter clockwise from the lamp head (1). The seal on the lamp
head should not be removed.
• Remove the solar unit from the base cover. The rechargeable battery compartment is located
on the back side. Remove the protective battery foil from the battery compartment to ensure
battery contact. Place the solar unit back in the base cover.
• Screw the base cover with the solar unit clockwise into the lamp head. Make sure that the
base cover screws in smoothly and the seal is not crushed.
• Turn the ground spike (3) clockwise into the thread on the base cover.
Setup location
•
Insert the ground spike into an even and sufficiently resistant surface (e.g. lawn or bed). A
stony surface can damage the ground spike. Make sure that the ground spike is firm in the
ground and cannot topple over.
• The product must be placed in a location where the lamp head is exposed to direct sunlight
for as long as possible to ensure that the batteries charge properly. Ensure that the lamp is
not covered or shaded.
• Do not place the product next to other light sources, e.g. patio or street lights, as this may
prevent the product from turning on automatically in the dark.
• The product is suitable for use in unprotected outdoor areas. However, the product must
never be used in or under water.
• The light switches on automatically at dusk. As soon as a certain brightness is reached, the
light turns off.
