Start-up
Start-up
1. Dispose of the packaging materials carefully or store it in a safe place. There
is danger of suffocation for small children!
2. Find a suitable location with direct sunlight.
3. Depress the On/Off button at the bottom of the snowman to switch on the
device.
4. Place the solar snowman in such a way that the solar panel at the back of the
snowman is exposed to direct sunlight. Make sure that direct sunlight shines
on the solar module for at least 8 hours a day in order to charge the built-in
battery. Before first use, the battery should be charged for one full day by
direct sunlight shining on the solar panel.
The snowman holds a little house in his left hand. At nightfall, the light inside
this little house automatically begins to shine.
During the day, the light switches off automatically.
Troubleshooting
If the light of the snowman does not light up after several sunny days with direct
sunlight, please check the following possible causes for the defect:
Make sure the snowman is switched on (On/Off button at the bottom has to
be depressed).
Foreign light sources such as street lamps, automobile headlights or
illuminated address lights may temporarily switch off the light.
The solar module is dirty. Carefully clean it with a cloth.
The rechargeable battery is defective. To replace the battery, remove the 4
screws of the battery compartment lid at the bottom of the snowman. Remove
the battery compartment lid and the rubber protection cover. Insert a new
battery. Pay attention to the proper polarity. Operate the solar snowman only
with a 1.2 V Ni-MH rechargeable battery of the type LR6 (AA) with at least
600 mAh. Close the battery compartment.
