Operating instructions
Solar hanging light
Item no. 808147
Intended use
The product is intended as a decorative garden light source.
The NiMH rechargeable batteries inserted into the solar hanging light are charged via
the built-in solar cells when there is sufficient natural light. An LED turns on automa-
tically at dark.
Choose a site for set-up with as little shade as possible so the rechargeable batteries
can charge sufficiently to guarantee a lengthy light ON time in the dark.
The solar hanging light is intended for set-up and use in outdoor spaces.
It is imperative that you follow the safety instructions and all other information contai-
ned in this user manual.

Notes on rechargeable batteries
• Keep rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children. Do not leave rechargeable
batteries lying about. Children or pets may swallow batteries left lying about, posing
a risk of fatal injury! If a battery has been swallowed, seek medical advice immedi
-
ately.
• Never disassemble, short-circuit or throw rechargeable batteries into fire, this po
-
ses a risk of explosion.
• Heed correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) when inserting/replacing rechargeable
batteries.
• Expired or used rechargeable batteries can leak chemical liquids that cause dama
-
ge to the device. Leaking or damaged rechargeable batteries may cause chemical
burns if they come into contact with your skin, wear suitable protective hand wear
in such a case.
• Use only rechargeable batteries of the right size and recommended type
• Only ever insert rechargeable batteries into the solar hanging light. Never use non-
rechargeable batteries. Otherwise there is a risk of fire and explosion!
Only use NiMH rechargeable batteries, type AA/Mignon.
Assembling the set-up pole
No tools are necessary for installation. Do not exert any force. Exerting force
can cause damage to the product and results in loss of warranty!
The set-up pole‘s four parts can be screwed together easily.
First hand-tighten the two extension poles.
Then screw the ground spike to the bottom end and the hook holder to the top.
Set-up and use
Choose a sport for set-up with as much sunlight as possible. The more sun-
light that shines on the solar cells, the quicker and fuller the rechargeable
battery will charge and the longer the light ON time in the dark will be.
If you set up the product beneath trees or bushes where only a small amount
of sunlight can reach the solar cell, the rechargeable batteries will not char
-
ge sufficiently and the solar hanging light LED will light up at night only very
briefly if at all.
During the winter months or during extended periods of adverse weather,
the rechargeable batteries will also not charge sufficiently and light ON time
in the dark will decrease accordingly.
Do not place the solar hanging light directly next to other sources of light
such as courtyard lights, street lights, etc. Otherwise the underwater spot
-
lights will not turn on/off correctly (the LED is activated automatically when
the charging current from the solar cell drops below a certain value).
Set up the solar hanging light e.g. at the edge of your patio, a garden path or a flower
bed.
Stick the metal set-up pole using the ground spike into the ground vertically.
Do not use any tools to insert the ground spike (e.g. a hammer). Exerting
force can cause damage to the product and results in loss of warranty!
Turn on the solar hanging light (on/off switch to „ON“).
When the product is off (on/off switch to „OFF“) the rechargeable batteries
in the product do not charge.
Using the eyelet, hang the solar hanging light on the top of the metal set-up pole.
The solar hanging light can also be fastened using e.g. a rope or the like.
Make sure that the solar cells are not in the shade.
The solar hanging light LED activates automatically at dark. Please note that, when
compared to the summer, the illumination period could be shorter during long-lasting
bad weather conditions or during wintertime.
If the LED does not turn on the first evening, wait for the next sunny day.
You could also remove the rechargeable batteries from the solar hanging
light to charge them using a commercially available battery charger for
NiMH round cell rechargeable batteries.
Make sure you observe correct polarity when inserting the rechargeable
batteries into the solar hanging light (po and negative/- terminals),
see „Replacing the rechargeable battery“.
Turn off the product (on/off switch to „OFF“) for extended periods of disuse.
Please note that the rechargeable batteries do not charge when the switch
is in this position.
