Operation
• Connect the three underwater spotlights‘
round plugs to the corresponding sockets
(1)onthesolarmodule.
Insert the round plugs securely into the so-
ckets to ensure sealing.
Lay the cables so that they cannot be bent
or damaged by rubbing on sharp corners.
• Turnon/otheproductusingtheswitch(2).
Switch position „ON“:
The rechargeable batteries charge with sucient sunlight. The three underwater LED
spotlightsareactivatedautomaticallywhentheambientlightlevelislow(theproduct
registers the ambient light level via internal metering of the charging current to the solar
cell).
Switch position „OFF“:
The rechargeable batteries do not charge, the underwater spotlights do not turn on.
Changing the rechargeable batteries
Rechargeable batteries have a limited life span. Replace the rechargeable batte-
rieswhentheilluminationperiodisonlyveryshortdespitesucientsunlight(or
atleastevery2years).
• Openthe rechargeable batterycompartmentbyunscrewing the fourscrewsfromthe
rechargeable battery compartment lid on the back of the solar module and then removing
the lid.
• Replacethe3rechargeablebatterieswith5identicalrechargeablebatteries(see„Tech-
nicalData“).Observecorrectpolarity(positive/+andnegative/-terminals)duringinstal-
lation. Dispose of used rechargeable batteries in an environmentally friendly fashion, see
section„Disposal“.
You may also use rechargeable batteries of higher capacity.
• Replacetherechargeablebatterycompartmentlidcorrectly(makesurethattherubber
seal sits correctly between the rechargeable battery compartment lid and the solar mo-
dule)andtightenthefourscrewstofasten.
Maintenance and cleaning
The product is maintenance-free part from occasionally replacing the rechargeable battery.
The LED illuminants used in the underwater spotlights are 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.Toremovetougherstains,
slightly dampen the cloth with lukewarm water.
Never use any aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions as they may cause dama-
ge to the housing or the product to malfunction.
Do not apply too much pressure to the cover of the solar module solar cell to prevent
scratching.
You should clean the solar cell cover 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 module 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;disposing
of used rechargeable batteries with household waste is prohibited.
Rechargeable batteries containing hazardous substances are marked with the
symbol shown opposite, which indicates that disposal with household waste is
prohibited.
 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 environ-
ment.

You can also try to discharge and charge the rechargeable batteries with a standard
NiMH round cell charging device several times in order to “refresh” the rechargeable
batteries. High quality charging devices oer such a function.
