Note: If using Alkaline Rechargeable battery place solar panel under light 

source for 6 hours with rechargeable battery in place to charge. 

  

 

For best results please bring the outdoor sensor in the house and place 5 feet 

from the display unit.  

 

Remove the battery from clock. Place switch to Battery mode. Do not 

attempt to remove batteries from solar sensor.    

 

With the power source removed, press one of the buttons on the display at 

least 20 times to clear all stored power. Please do this even if the display is 

blank to remove any remaining power. Verify the display is blank.  

 

Place the display face down on a clean cloth to prevent the solar panel from 

providing power.
