3. Intended Use
The solar module built into the upper part converts sunlight into electricity.
The built-in battery is charged with this energy. The light can be charged
outdoors during the day and used as an elegant table or reading lamp
indoors or outdoors in the evening.
The light does not switch on automatically. You decide when “Talo” should
provide you with light. It is easily controlled via a sensor switch and the
light intensity can be conveniently regulated in 3 levels. Should the sun not
shine, it can be conveniently charged via a USB connection so you don’t
have to do without your reliable light source.
Note: Solar lights must always be placed in the sunlight without
shadows. Operation on the north side or in the shade of trees or
bushes is not recommended!
4. Installation
1. Carefully remove the parts from the packaging.
2. First place the light in the sun or charge it first via the USB connection
(see point 5).
3. Now gently touch the sensor switch for at least 5 seconds until the light
turns on. The sensor switch lights up white.
4. By tapping the sensor switch again, the luminosity can be increased by
2 more levels. The light is switched off when you tap the sensor switch
for the third time. The light is now ready and the sensor switch lights
up blue. If you tap the sensor switch again, it starts all over again. If the
sensor switch is touched for longer than 5 seconds, the light switches
off.
Press button for 5 seconds: “Mode 1” lamp lights up with 100
lumens luminosity.
Press button for 1 second: “Mode 2” lamp shines with 500 lumens
luminosity.
Press button for 1 second: “Mode 3” lamp shines with 1000 lumens
luminosity.
Press button for 1 second: “Standby mode” lamp does not light up.
Press button for 1 second: “Mode 1” lamp lights up with 100
lumens luminosity.
Press button for 5 seconds: Lamp switched off, battery is still being
charged!
Note: The duration of the light depends heavily on the intensity and dura-
tion of sunlight during the day. In the winter months, you can generally
expect less lighting time. Here it is recommended to charge the light with
a USB power supply unit.
5. Charge via USB port
The battery in the light can be charged via
a USB power supply unit before it is used
for the first time, during the darker months
of the year or when it is used indoors. The
charging cable is included in the scope of
delivery, the USB power supply unit is an
accessory and not included in the scope of
delivery. The charging connection is located
under a weatherproof cover in the lower part
of the light.
If the light is charged via a USB power supply unit, an LED inside the but-
ton lights up red. When the battery is charged, the light colour of the LED
changes to green and the charging cable can be removed again. Close
the connector cover. The light should be switched off during the charging
process.
6. Changing the battery
1. Turn off the light.
2. Unscrew the 3 screws on the underside of the light
with a suitable screwdriver and remove the cover.
3. There is space for 2 batteries in the battery com-
partment, currently only one battery is inserted.
Take out the battery and replace it with an identical
Li-Ion battery 3.7 V / 2200 mAh. Ensure that the
battery is inserted with the correct polarity (positive
pole on the cover).
4. Now close the light again in the reverse order and
switch the light on again by pressing the sensor
button for at least 5 seconds.
Note:
Used batteries or accumulators must be disposed of in an envi-
ronmentally friendly manner and do not belong in the household waste.
Your dealer is legally obliged to take back old batteries.
Note: It is generally possible to insert a second battery in the light.
Please note that the two batteries can only be fully charged using the
USB power supply unit.
7. Malfunctions
