Before First Use
Choose the right location
Select a location with full and direct sunlight. Do not install in shady areas as these
areas will not allow the battery to fully charge and will reduce nighttime working hours.
Be sure that the selected location is not too close to other nighttime light sources (e.g.
streetlights, porch lights, or other solar lights) as they may keep the light from turning
on automatically at night.
Charging the battery
Make sure switch is in the “6H” or “10H” position. Battery cannot be charged in
the “OFF” position. For optimum performance, it is best to install the fixture in
full and direct sunlight and charge for at least 10-12 hours a day. Allow the fixture
to run at least 8-12 complete charging and discharging cycles for the battery to
reach its maximum capacity.

Twist knob (C) to secure the spotlight (A) and the panel. Attach the connector (B) to the spotlight (A).
Push the light assembly onto the ground spike, then into the ground. Caution: DO NOT use a hammer. For
ground with hard soil, to prevent breaking the ground spike, use trowel to loosen the soil first.
Replacing the battery (Fig. 3)
Push the release tab and open solar panel. Replace old batteries with (2) new 850 mAh 3.2V 18500
LiFePO4 solar rechargeable batteries. Close compartment. Note: a minimum capacity of 850 mAh is required. CAUTION: CONTAINS LITHIUM
PHOSPHATE BATTERIES. BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY. DO NOT INGEST. Do not dispose battery in fire. Battery
may explode or leak. Ensure the battery is installed correct with regard to polarity (+ and -).
Troubleshooting
conditions:
1. The battery is not fully charged. Make sure the fixture is located in an area where it can receive the maximum amount of full and direct sunlight
for 10–12 hours a day. If the fixture does not receive enough sunlight during any given day (e.g. due to cloudy or overcast weather conditions),
it will be recharged on the next sunny day and resume normal operation. Keeping the solar panel clean is equally important to ensure the
maximum charging performance.
2. The fixture is installed too close to other light sources (e.g. streetlights, porch lights, other solar lights, etc.) which may keep the light from turning
on automatically at night. Relocate fixture or eliminate other light sources.
3. The battery is reaching the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced.
Winter tips
Keep debris and snow off the solar panel to allow the battery to recharge. If the panel has been covered by snow for a long period of time,
allow the battery to recharge by allowing the panel to receive full sunlight for at least 10-12 hours.
