Note:
The light should now be dark during daylight. The solar module also
has a twilight sensor function. If the solar module is in darkness, then the
voltage of the solar module drops and the light will switch on automatical-
ly.
8. The solar module can be placed on the ground using the ground spike.
The position of the spherical joint can be adjusted for best alignment
towards the sun.
Note:
Illumination time is highly dependent on the intensity and duration of
sunlight (solar irradiation) during the day. Illumination time is generally
expected to be less during the winter months. Should the light not switch
on on the first evening, please wait for a sunny day.
5. Colour setting
The light has 2 different colour settings. These are selected using the but-
ton underneath the light (Centre). Press the button to select the option you
want.
1. Always white
The colour is set to white for every night.
2. Changing colours
Each night, the light will change to a different colour from the night before,
set to rotate in the following sequence: green, red, blue, cyan, purple, yel-
low, and then back to green, red...
The light will take a little longer to light up if the "changing colours" option
is selected.
6. Replacing the battery pack
As a rule, the battery pack must be replaced every 2 years with a new one
of the same size and type. It is a 3.7 V/1800 mAh lithium-ion battery.
Replacement batteries are obtainable from your dealer or the manufactu-
rer.
The following is the correct procedure for replacing the battery:
1. Loosen the connections at the bottom of the lamp.
2. Rotate the bottom of the globe counter-clockwise.
3. Remove the battery pack connector plug from the circuit board and
remove the used battery from its bracket.
4. Replace the battery with a new, identical battery.
5. Close the lamp in the reverse order used to open it, and remember to
reconnect the solar module cable.
Note:
Used batteries, whether rechargeable or not, must be disposed of in
an environmentally friendly manner and should not be disposed of in
domestic rubbish bins. Your dealer is obliged by law to accept old batteries
for disposal.
7. Troubleshooting
Lamp does not switch on at nightfall.
- An ambient light source (e.g. street light) simulates natural light in the
solar module and prevents the light from switching on automatically.
Place the solar module in a darker place.
Lamp does not switch on at nightfall, or switches on only briefly.
- Check the connector plugs on the solar module cable and battery are
properly connected.
- Battery is weak or faulty. Replace the battery at least once every 2
years.
