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 sufcient 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 efciency 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 signicant drop in the battery life, or when the light only
turns on for a short period despite sufcient sunlight during daylight hours.
• Remove the lantern from the stand.
• Unhook the handle from both lugs (2).
• Pull out the solar module from the top of the lantern opening.
• Turn over the solar module.
• Rotate the transparent battery compartment cover counter-clockwise toward OPEN until it
stops 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).
• Insert each tab of the battery compartment cover into a recess of the solar module unit.
• Turn the battery compartment cover counter-clockwise toward CLOSE until it stops.
• Insert the solar module (with the battery compartment faces the LED candle) into the lantern
opening.
• Hook the handle into the two lugs.
• Hang the handle on the hook of the stand.
Care and cleaning
• Allow the product to cool down sufciently before 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 (3), 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 full your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.
