: Do not dispose of Li-Ion battery in the regular trash, municipal waste stream or by

MAINTENANCE:
Clean the solar panels regularly with a damp towel to guarantee optimum
performance. Do not use any type of solvent for cleaning and be careful not to put too much
pressure on the solar panels while cleaning.
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
If your solar charged light does not come on at dusk despite
observance of all the instructions, please try the following steps:
1. Make sure that the solar lamp is not being affected by any other light source.
2. Ensure the solar lamp is not positioned in the shade during the day.
3. Make sure the switch on the lamp head is in either the Summer or Winter
position.
4. Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
NOTE
: The performance of the solar lamp will vary with the time of year. It will deliver more light
when it has had a full day in the sun rather than a day in overcast weather.
WINTERTIME TIPS:
For optimal performance, be sure to remove any snow or debris
accumulation from solar panel(s). Solar panels free of debris will charge the batteries much
more efficiently.
WARNING
: Please keep out of reach of children.
