ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 
HOW YOUR SOLAR GARDEN ACCENT LIGHT WORKS 
During  the  day,  the  solar  panel  collects  sunlight  and 
converts it into electrical power stored in the rechargeable 
battery(ies)  included.    At  night,  the  solar  panel,  sensing 
the absence of light, turns on the solar garden accent light 
using  the  electricity  stored  during  the  day.  The  more 
sunlight  the  fixture  gets,  the  stronger  the  charge  will  be 
and the longer your fixture will illuminate at night.  
All  Moonrays®  solar  garden  lights  utilize  LED  (light 
emitting diode)  technology  to  provide  light.  A  LED is  a 
highly efficient source of light compared to other types of 
bulbs and they do not need to be replaced. On average, a 
LED will last approximately 100,000 hours or more.  
CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION FOR YOUR 
FIXTURE 
1. Install  in  a  location  that  gets  a  full  day  of  direct
sunlight. Do not install in a shady area.
2. The  fixture  should  receive  a  minimum  of  8  hours  of
sunlight per day for optimal performance at night.
3. Be  sure  that the  location  is  not  near  nighttime  light
sources  such as  street  lights or  porch lights.   These
light  sources  may  cause  the  solar  panel  to  turn  the
fixture off.
4. Solar  fixtures  work  independently  of  each  other  and
there is no wiring necessary.  They may be installed
as far apart as needed.
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION 
1. Remove all contents from box.
2. Many fixtures will ship with a thin protective film over
the solar panels. Gently remove film from the panel(s).
3. Each  fixture  has  an  ON/OFF or  AUTO/OFF  switch,
OR a  PULL TAB.  Before installing,  slide or  press
switch located on the bottom or the top of the fixture to
the ON or AUTO position OR remove the pull tab
completely.
4. Assemble  all  post sections together and  attach the
plastic  stake  tip  (if  required)  to  the  bottom  of  the
assembled  post.    Make  sure  the  solar  panel(s)  is
facing up.
5. Secure the light head(s) onto the fixture.
6. Chose location and push fixture into ground by placing
hands  around  the  post  section.  Do  not  push  on  the
fixture head/solar panel or you may cause damage to
the fixture.
TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS 
If your solar garden light does not turn on at night, it may 
be caused by one of the following conditions: 
1. Batteries not fully charged: Make sure the fixture is
placed  in  an  area  where  the  solar  panel  gets  the
maximum  amount  of  full,  direct  sunlight  everyday.  If
the  solar  panel  does  not  receive  enough  sunlight
during the day (e.g. due to cloudy or overcast weather
conditions), it will be recharged on the next sunny day
and resume operation.
2. Other  light  sources:  If  your solar  garden  light  is
located too close to street lights, porch lights or other
lights,  the  solar  panel  may  turn  off  the  fixture.
Relocate  the  fixture  or  eliminate  those  other  light
sources.
3. Not enough direct sunlight: Ensure that the fixtures
are not installed in a shady area, for example, in the
shadow of a tree or a house.  If necessary, move the
fixtures to an area that gets full direct sunlight.
4. Battery(ies)  may  need  to  be  replaced:  Always
replace  with  new  rechargeable  batteries  with  similar
rating  and  type that  shipped  with  the original fixture.
Do  not  use  non-rechargeable  batteries.  For  best
results, use Moonrays® replacement batteries.
5. Switch is not in ON or  AUTO position:  Slide  or
press switch in a dark room.  The light(s) should come
on when the switch is in the ON or AUTO position.
TO REPLACE BATTERIES: 
1. Remove  all  the  screws  that  secure  the  cover  to  the
battery  compartment.  Open  the  compartment.
Remove  the  rubber  gasket  that  is  in  between  the
battery compartment and the cover (if provided).
2. Remove old battery(ies) and replace with new one(s)
using similar rating and type that  shipped with the
original fixture. Make  sure to  install the  battery(ies)
matching the correct polarity (+/-).
3. Replace the cover and secure the screws. Make sure
the  rubber  gasket  (if  provided)  between the  battery
compartment  and  the  cover  is  put  back  in  place
correctly when re-assembling.
Caution:  Always  dispose  of  recyclable  batteries  at  a 
proper  battery  disposal  facility.  Do  not  dispose  in  fire  or 
attempt  to open  sealed batteries. Use only the similar 
rating  and  type  that  shipped  with  the  original  fixture.  Do 
not mix old and new batteries. 
To  help  improve  the  electrical  conductivity  of  the 
battery(ies),  periodically  open  the  battery cover  and  with 
the  battery(ies)  in  its  compartment,  rotate  (about  5 
complete spins) with your fingers.
