ASSEMBLY
• Carefully remove your LATERNA and the fittings out of the box.
• Pull the orange-marked foil strip out of your LATERNA
Your LATERNA is now ready for operation
WARNING! Contact with hidden lines can lead to severe injury or even
death! Please ensure while digging and boring holes that you do not hit
any hidden lines.
• Drive the ground spike into the ground.s
• Put the pole into the ground spike.
ATTENTION! Do not press on the surface of LATERNA because this can
damage the solar module.
• Set the upper lamp unit on the upper part of the pole. It is fastened by
rotating it clockwise.
ERECTION
Select a location for erection with as much exposure to solar radiation as
possible and put LATERNA into the ground. Do not erect LATERNA in the
shade of trees, shrubbery or buildings, otherwise the loading effect of your
LATERNA will be diminished.
PERFORMANCE
The performance of your LATERNA depends on the time of year. LATERNA is
ready for operation longer in summer than in winter.
How long LATERNA shines at night depends on how long LATERNA was
exposed to direct solar radiation during the day. For example, when the sky is
overcast, less solar energy is available to load the rechargeable battery.
During the following night, the duration of emission of light of LATERNA is
therefore shorter.
The duration of emission of light is strongly limited on winter days due to lower
exposure to solar radiation.
NOTE: Clean the solar module regularly with a damp towel to guarantee
optimum performance of the solar collectors. Do not use any solvents for
cleaning. Do not put any pressure on the solar module during cleaning.
