1. Introduction
Dear Costumer,
Thank you for purchasing the solar light.
With this solar light you purchased a product manufactured according to
the current state of technology.
This product fulfils all requirements of the valid European and natio-
nal regulations. The conformity was proved. The relevant declarati-
ons and documentation are deposited with the manufacturer.
To maintain this state and guarantee a safe operation, you as the user will
have to follow this operating manual!
2. Safety Instructions
- In case of damages caused by not following this
operating manual, the warranty rights will expire!
We exclude liability for any consequential damages!
- We exclude liability for property or personal
damages caused by inappropriate handling
or not following the safety instructions.
- In these cases any guarantee rights will expire.
Due to safety and admission reasons (CE) it is not allowed to arbitrarily
reconstruct and/or change the solar light.
Therefore, please keep to the operating manual.
The accident prevention rules of the association of the industrial trade
cooperative association for electric plants and working material are to be
considered in industrial environments
3. Intended use
The solar light is designed for outdoor use. However, the glass body of the
light requires an inside storage during the winter with ice and snow. The inte-
grated accumulator is charged by the solar cells installed in the upper part of
the light. The light is automatically switched at dusk and switched out at dawn.
A powerful light emitting diode (LED) is used as light source. This LED ensu-
res a high luminosity with low current consumption.
-- However, please note that the duration of illumination may be impai-
red, i.e. reduced, in case of low solar radiation onto the solar module. --
Note: After longer periods without solar radiation, the accumulator is charged
insufficiently in order to ensure a permanent operational readiness. However,
that does not mean that the solar light is defective. Please wait for the next
sunny days or occasionally recharge the accumulator with a standard battery
charger and the light will again work properly.
4. Initiation
1. Please carefully take all parts out of the package.
2. Carefully remove the cover from the glass bottom (illustration 1) and set
the switch into the position “ON” (illustration 2).
3. Now reattach the cover onto the
luminous glass element.
Note: Do not use any force.
The solar light is now activated.
Note: The glass bottom is fragile.
Please never position the light on a
wobbly subsurface or at the edge of a
table. Risk of fracture and danger of
injury due to broken glass.
Note: The duration of illumination is
strongly dependent on the intensity and
duration of the solar radiation during the
day. In case the light should not give
light on the first evening, please wait for
a sunny day.
5. Exchange of the accumulator
1
. Carefully remove the cover from the glass bottom (illustration 1) and set
the switch into the position “OFF” (illustration 2).
2
. Remove the used accumulator from the battery compartment and insert a
n
ew accumulator with correct polarity. It is recommended to charge the
new accumulator in a battery charger before inserting it into the battery
c
ompartment.
4. Now reset the switch into the position “ON”
3
. Close the light in reverse order.
Note: Used batteries or accumulators must be disposed of in a non-polluting
w
ay and do not belong into the domestic waste. Your dealer is required by law
t
o take back old accumulators.
6. Malfunctions
Lamp is not automatically switched on at darkness
- An outside light source (e.g. streetlight) simulates daylight and prevents the lamp
f
rom switching on. Place the lamp at a darker location.
-Lamp is not switched on at darkness or only for a short period of time.
- Is the lamp connected?
-
Accumulator weak or defective. Exchange of the accumulators.

Rechargeable battery notes
- Rechargeable batteries should not be played with by children. Never leave rechar-
geable batteries lying around; they could be swallowed by children or pets.
- Rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into
fire. This leads to a danger of explosion!
- Leaking or damaged rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns when they
come into contact with skin. For this reason, please make use of suitable protecti-
ve gloves.
- Rechargeable batteries should only be replaced by structurally identical recharge-
able batteries from the same manufacturer. Normal batteries must not be used
since these are not rechargeable.
- Make sure the rechargeable batteries are inserted with the correct polarity.
- For long periods of time of non-use (for example, storage), remove the inserted
rechargeable batteries to avoid damages via the leaking rechargeable batteries.
Disposal:
Dear customer,
