stakes and poles on all sides of packing material.
• To protect the glass from damage, do not use force on the glass and hold only the metal parts to connect
together. Keep the glass in the packaging until you need to install it.
• To allow each battery to reach full capacity, pull out the plastic tab and place in full sunlight for the first 12
hours. Failure to do so can shorten the life of the battery or operation of the light.

• The solar cells receive less sunlight in the winter months. Therefore the number of hours the lamp will work
is reduced in winter.
