HOW YOUR CLASSIC TIER
TM
SOLAR-POWERED LIGHTS WORK
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SOLAR LIGHT.
SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
BEFORE FIRST USE – Pull out to remove the clear plastic strip
with orange sticker in the light fixture to charge battery.
Install your Classic Tier solar light in direct sunlight and charge for 10-12
FULL, SUNNY DAYS. The light will turn on automatically at night. Allow at
least 10-12 cycles (i.e., 10-12 days and nights of charging and discharging)
for the battery to charge to its full capacity.
The rechargeable Ni-Cd battery must be allowed to fully charge to operate
properly. Partially charging the battery on a consistent basis will drastically
reduce the life of the battery.
IMPORTANT:
The EPA Certified RBRC
®
Battery Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd) battery contained in our product
indicates The Brinkmann Corporation is
voluntarily participating in an industry program
to collect and recycle these battery at the end
of their useful life, when taken out of service in
the United States or Canada. The RBRC
®
program provides a convenient alternative to
placing used Ni-Cd battery into the trash or the
municipal waste stream, which may be illegal
in your area. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY™
for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling and
disposal bans/restrictions in your area. The
Brinkmann Corporation’s involvement in this
program is part of our commitment to
preserving our environment and conserving
our natural resources.
During the day, the solar panel converts sunlight
into electricity and recharges the battery. At
night, the light turns on automatically using the
electricity stored during that day.
The number of hours the light will stay on is
dependent on your geographical location, weather
conditions and seasonal lighting availability.
Solar lights do not receive as much direct
sunlight in winter months. Therefore, the
number of hours the light will stay on will be
reduced during winter.
