Functioning
The solar panel
6
installed in the product con-
verts sunlight into electrical energy and stores it in
the rechargeable battery.
The product will automatically light on as it begins
to get dark. The LEDs are a very long-life and ener-
gy-saving light source. The light duration depends on
the amount of sunlight, the angle of light on the so-
lar panel
6
and the temperature (the rechargeable
battery capacity is temperature-dependent). A verti-
cal angle of light at temperatures above the freezing
point is ideal. The rechargeable battery does not
achieve maximum capacity until after several
charge and discharge cycles.
In summer a completely drained rechargeable
battery takes about 2 to 4 days to fully recharge
in constant sunlight.
Installation (see Fig)
1. Push the ground spike
3
into the pole
2
.
2. Slide the solar panel housing
1
over pole
2
if this has not been pre-installed.
3. Push the ground spike
3
for enough into the
ground (lawn, flower bed) so it is firmly posi-
tioned upright in the ground.
4. Make sure it is firmly positioned. Do not use
any force when assembling or setting up the
product, e.g. hammer blows. This will damage
the product. For optimal results, set up the
product in a location where the solar panel
6
is exposed to sunlight for the longest
possible amount of time. Do not put the product
under bushes, trees, canopies etc. as this
reduces the incidence of incoming sunlight.
Position the product in such a way that the
solar panel
6
is not covered or in the shade.
Note: Make sure the solar panel is not im-
pacted by other light sources, e.g. yard- or
street lighting, or the product will not switch
on at twilight.
Switching the product
1. Switch the ON / OFF switch
5
in the ON
position to switch the product on. The product
will automatically switch on or off at twilight.
2. Switch the ON / OFF switch
5
in the OFF
position again to switch the product off.

10
.
3. Open the battery compartment cover
8
on
the bottom of the solar panel housing
1
. To
do so, unscrew all screws
7
anti-clockwise
using a cross head screwdriver.
4. Take out the used or exhausted rechargeable
battery
10
.
5. Insert a Ni-MH, AA, 1.2 V / 600 mAh
rechargeable battery
10
in to the battery
compartment
9
.
Note: Ensure correct polarity. This is indicated
in the battery compartment
9
.
6. Place the battery compartment cover
8
back
onto the battery compartment
