Operation
Fully charge the battery before using the product for the rst time. The charging time is
approx. 8 hours in direct sunlight.
• Use the ON/OFF (4) switch on the battery compartment (5) to turn the lamp on and off.
ON: The light switches on or off automatically depending on the ambient brightness. If the
surrounding light is sufcient, the battery is charged via the solar module.
OFF: The product is switched off. Switch the product off if you do not need it for longer
periods. The battery is not charged in this switch position.
• Select an appropriate installation location. Also observe the instructions in the chapter
“Installation location”.
Installation location
• Place the product in a location with good access to light so that the solar module can charge
the battery during daylight hours. Ensure that the solar panel is not covered or shaded, e.g.
by trees or buildings.
• The more sunlight that shines on the solar panel, the more the battery will charge. Do not
place the product next to other light sources, e.g. patio or street lights, as this may prevent
the product from turning on automatically in the dark.
Important notes
• The power of the solar module varies according to the time of year and depends on the
duration and strength of the sunlight. Long periods without sufcient solar radiation
(especially in winter) can lower the charge state of the battery, thus not allowing long lit
periods. The rechargeable battery stores less energy during the day than it consumes at
night. Thus, the lighting duration is inevitably reduced. This may damage the battery as a
result of it becoming completely discharged. To avoid damaging the battery, turn the lamp off
during extended periods without sufcient sunlight.
• Keep the lighting unit clean. Dust and dirt reduce the efciency of the solar panel, resulting
in a lower charging current.
