Safety instructions / Functionality
instruction by a person responsible for their
safety. Children must be supervised at all times
to prevent them from playing with the device.
Never leave children unsupervised with the
packaging material. The packaging material
represents a danger of suffocation. Children
frequently underestimate the dangers. Please
keep the product out of the reach of children at
all times.
This product is not a toy and should be kept
out of the reach of children. Children are not
aware of the dangers associated with handling
electrical products.
Do not use the article if you detect any kind of
damage.
DANGER - EXPLOSION
HAZARD!
Do not use the solar
light in explosive environments con-
taining flammable vapours, gasses or dusts.
Product-specific
safety instructions
Do not expose the solar light to strong vibra-
tion or high mechanical loads.
Make sure the solar cell is free of dirt and free
of snow and ice in winter. Otherwise the
performance of the solar panel will diminish.
Cold temperatures negatively impact the bat-
tery operating time. Clean and store the solar
light in a dry, warm location during extended
periods of non-use, e.g. in winter.
In the event of damage, repairs or other prob-
lems with the solar light, please contact an
electrician. The LEDs cannot be replaced!
DANGER - EXPLOSION
HAZARD!
Use only rechargeable
batteries of the recommended type.
Other rechargeable or single-use batteries
could explode during charging.
DANGER - RISK OF IN-
JURY!
Be sure to also remove the
base and ground stake when remov-
ing the solar light to prevent hazards (e.g.
tripping).
DANGER - FIRE HAZARD!
Never switch the solar light on
inside the packaging.
Safety instructions for
rechargeable batteries
Outdated or used rechargeable batteries may
leak chemicals which damage the product.
Therefore remove the rechargeable batteries
when not using the solar light for extended
periods.
DANGER - FIRE HAZARD!
Do not allow rechargeable batteries
to short-circuit. Otherwise the re-
chargeable batteries may overheat, become a
fire hazard or explode.
DANGER - EXPLOSION
HAZARD!
Never throw recharge-
able batteries into fire or water.
WARNING - WEAR
SAFETY GLOVES!
If they come
into contact with skin, leaked or
damaged rechargeable batteries could cause
chemical burns; you should therefore wear suit-
able protective gloves at all times if such an
event occurs.
Functionality
The solar module built into this product converts
sunlight into electricity and stores it in the recharge-
able NiMH battery. Switches on the light as it
begins to get dark.
The in-built light-emitting diodes are a very long-life
and energy-saving light source.
The light duration depends on the amount of sun-
light, the angle of light on the solar panel and the
temperature (the battery capacity is temperature-
dependent). A vertical angle of light at tempera-
tures above the freezing point is ideal.
The battery does not achieve maximum capacity
until after several charge and discharge cycles.
