INITIAL BATTERY CHARGE
IMPORTANT: Ensure the solar panel cord is firmly attached to the light fixture cord with no space between the two
connectors.
IMPORTANT:
The solar panel requires full, direct sunlight to charge the battery. Clouds, rain, snow, and other weather conditions may not allow the
solar panel to completely recharge the battery. Other obstructions such as buildings or trees may block the sun as well.
When installing the solar panel, make sure it is aimed as described below with a minimum amount of obstructions. If possible, mount the panel facing
toward the southern sky.
□
PRIOR TO USE, the battery will require 2 to 5 days of full sun to completely charge with the control switch in
the OFF position.
Plug the solar panel cable into the connector extending from the bottom of the battery case.
If possible, aim the solar panel toward the south and tilt it approximately 50° from horizontal. If the solar panel
cannot be aimed toward the south, then tilt the panel approximately 30° if possible.
□
Actual operating time will vary depending upon how frequently the light is turned on by the motion sensor.
□
Solar lighting is not designed to equal standard 120V lighting. The amount of light output is reduced to allow the
sun time to fully recharge the battery between lighting cycles.
□
Solar collection is only effective in direct sunlight. Every hour the light is on requires a minimum of 16 hours of
sunlight charging. Solar panels collect less than 10% of the sun’s energy.
To ensure the maximum RUN TIME solar performance:
□
Slide the control switch to the “AUTO” position.
□
Slide the “SENS” switch to the “M” (medium)
position.
□
Set the time dial HALFWAY between 5S and 1MIN.
