Maintenance
Clean the solar module regularly with a damp towel to guarantee optimum
performance of the solar panel. Do not use any type of solvent for cleaning
and be careful not to put too much pressure on the module 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 light is not being affected by any other
light source.
2. Ensure the solar light is not positioned in the shade during the
day.
3. Make sure the switch in the lamp head is in the”ON” position.
4. Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
NOTE
: The performance of the solar light 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:
Keep snow and debris cleaned off the solar panels so
the batteries can recharge. If the lights are covered with snow for an extended
period of time, after the snow melts, allow all the batteries to charge in full,
direct sunlight for at least 6 hours to their maximum capacity.
WARNING
: Please keep out of reach of children.
