Charging the batteries
The batteries are delivered fully charged. In direct sunlight the
rechargeable batteries are charged by the built-in solar cell
10
.
They can also be charged using the enclosed USB charging cable.
Charging the batteries with the solar cell
The product‘s solar panel
10
converts sunlight into electrical en-
ergy and stores it in the batteries.
To ensure optimal battery charging, position the device in a
place, which is exposed to direct sunlight. To fully charge un-
loaded batteries, the solar panel must be exposed to at least
8 hours of direct sunlight.
Charging the batteries with the USB charging cable
Especially during the darker times of the year, depending on the
length of time for which the device is activated each day, you may
find that sunlight does not provide the batteries with enough en-
ergy. However, you can charge the batteries using the enclosed
USB charging cable
13
and your computer or a standard USB
adapter (not included in delivery). This charging process must be
carried out indoors because the splash protection no longer works
when the charging socket is open.
