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. Therefore, remove the battery from the product in due time.
• Keep the solar panel clean. Dust and dirt reduce the efciency of the solar panel, resulting
in a lower charging current.
• Cold temperatures have a negative impact on the battery life (the light stays on for a shorter
period at night). To prolong the lifespan of the product, store it in a dry, warm room during the
winter (or when you are not going to use it for an extended period). To do this, remove the
battery from the product.
• You can charge the battery with a battery charger before inserting it into the product. Always
follow the instructions in this manual when removing/replacing the rechargeable battery.
Removing/changing the battery
Ensure that no liquids get into the interior of the product when changing the battery.
Replace the battery when you notice a signicant drop in the battery life, or when the light only
turns on for a short period despite sufcient sunlight during daylight hours.
• Turn the solar module counter-clockwise toward OPEN until the arrow marking of the light
opening is aligned with the arrow marking of the solar module.
• Hold the product upside down and remove the solar module carefully. The solar module is
connected by a cable to the lamp.
• Release the cable by pressing and holding the small lever on the cable connection.
• Turn over the solar module.
• Press the lever on the battery compartment and remove the battery compartment cover.
• Remove the battery from the battery compartment.
• Replace the used/defective battery with a new battery of the same type and capacity (see
"Technical data"). Ensure that the battery is inserted in the correct polarity (observe plus/+
and minus/- symbols).
• Close the battery compartment with the battery compartment cover. It snaps into place
audibly.
• Connect the cable again. The cable connection on the battery compartment will only t in one
direction to the cable connection of the light unit.
• Place the solar module into the light opening so that the arrow markings are aligned.
• Turn the solar module clockwise toward CLOSE until it stops to fasten.
Care and cleaning
• Do not use abrasive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as these may
damage the casing or stop the product from functioning properly.
• Never direct a jet of water e.g. of a high-pressure cleaner at the product.
• Use a clean, soft and dry cloth to clean the product. To remove stubborn dirt, moisten the
cloth slightly with lukewarm water.
• Do not press too hard on the solar module (2), as this may result in damage.
• Remove dust from the solar module at regular intervals, otherwise the charging current may
be reduced.
Disposal
a) Product
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be placed in household
waste. At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant
statutory regulations.
Remove the rechargeable battery and dispose of it separately from the product.
b) Rechargeable batteries
You are required by law to return all used batteries. They must not be placed in
household waste.
Rechargeable batteries that contain hazardous substances are labelled with this
symbol to indicate that disposal in household waste is forbidden. The abbreviations
for heavy metals in batteries are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (indicated
on the battery, e.g. below the waste icon on the left).
Used rechargeable batteries can be returned to local collection points, our stores or battery
retailers.
You thus full your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.
