batteries when the illumination period is only very short despite sucient
sunlight(oratleastevery2years).

Maintenance and cleaning
The product is maintenance-free part from occasionally replacing the rechargeable
battery. The LED illuminant used is permanently installed and non-replaceable.
Maintenance or repairs may be carried out by a professional only.
Cleantheexterioroftheproductusingaclean,soft,dryclothonly.Neveruseany
aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions as they may cause damage to the
housing or the product to malfunction.
Do not apply too much pressure to the transparent panes to prevent scratching.
You should clean the solar cells at least once a year. Dust and dirt reduce the
charging current and thus light ON time.
Disposal
a) General
Do not dispose of the product with your household waste.
 Pleasedisposeofthedeviceattheendofitsservicelifeinaccordancewith
legalregulations;e.g.returnthedevicetoapubliccollectionpoint.
 Removetherechargeablebatteriesfromthesolarhanginglightanddispose
of them separately.
b) Disposing of used rechargeable batteries
Astheenduser,youarelegallyboundtoreturnallusedrechargeablebatteries;dispo-
sing of used rechargeable batteries with household waste is prohibited.
Contaminated rechargeable batteries are labelled with this symbol to indi-
cate that disposal in the domestic waste is forbidden.
 Thedesignationsfortheheavymetals involvedare:Cd=Cadmium,Hg=
Mercury,Pb=Lead.
You can dispose of your used rechargeable batteries free of charge at collection points
inyourcommunity,atourstoresandeverywhererechargeablebatteriesaresold!
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the envi-
ronment.
Troubleshooting
The solar hanging light LED does not light up.
• Therechargeablebatteriesareempty(nosunlightonthesolarcellsforalonger
periodoftime,e.g.duringbadweatherconditionsorwintertime).
• Therechargeablebatteriesareemptyuponrstuse.Waitforoneortwosunnydays
so there is enough natural light to suciently charge the rechargeable batteries.
• Therechargeablebatteriesarenotproperlyinstalled.
• Thesolarhanginglightisnotturnedon.Fliptheswitchbeneaththelidto„ON“.
• Therechargeablebatteriesonlychargewhenthesolarhanginglightisturnedon
(theswitchbeneaththelidmustbeat„ON“).
The solar hanging light lights up only briefly.
• Therechargeablebatteriesareempty(nosunlightonthesolarcellsforalonger
periodoftime,e.g.duringbadweatherconditionsorwintertime).
• Makesurethatthesolarhanginglightissetupatasuitablelocationandisnot
obstructed e.g. by objects or plants.
We recommend setting up the product somewhere where the solar cells receive at
least 4 hours of sunlight daily.
• Therechargeablebatteriesonlychargewhenthesolarhanginglightisturnedon
(theswitchbeneaththelidmustbeat„ON“).
• Therechargeablebatteriesareexhaustedanddonotprovideanypower.Replace
the rechargeable batteries with new ones.
 Youcanalsoattemptto„freshenup“therechargeablebatteriesbychargingand
discharging them a few times using a commercially available rechargeable battery
charger for NiMH round cell rechargeable batteries. High quality charging devices
oer such a function.
