Make sure that the solar cell is free of dirt and
free of snow and ice in winter. Otherwise the
performance of the solar cell will diminish.
Cold temperatures have a negative influence on
the operating life of the rechargeable battery.
If the solar garden lights are not going to be
used for a long time, e.g. in winter, they should
be taken up, cleaned and stored in a dry, warm
room.
Safety instructions for
rechargeable batteries
LIFE AND RISK OF ACCIDENTS

Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Do
not leave the batteries lying around. There is a
risk of children or animals swallowing them.
Consult a doctor immediately if a battery is
swallowed.
CAUTION! DANGER OF EX-
PLOSION! Use only rechargeable
batteries of the recommended type.
Other rechargeable or single-use batteries could
explode during charging.
FIRE HAZARD! Do not allow re-
chargeable batteries to short-circuit.
Otherwise the rechargeable batteries
may overheat, become a fire hazard or explode.
RISK OF EXPLOSION! Never
throw rechargeable batteries into
fire or water.
Chemical fluids that damage the product may
leak out of outdated or used rechargeable
batteries. Remove, therefore, the rechargeable

The solar cell installed in the article converts sunlight
into electrical energy and stores it in 1 Ni-MH battery.
Switches on the light as it begins to get dark. The
in-built light-emitting diodes are a very long-life and
energy-saving light source. The light duration de-
DANGER TO pends on the amount of sunlight, the angle of light
on the solar cell and the temperature (the battery
capacity is temperature-dependent). A vertical angle
of light at temperatures above the freezing point is
ideal. The battery does not achieve maximum ca-
pacity until after several charge and discharge cycles.
In summer completely drained batteries take about
2 to 4 days to fully recharge in constant sunlight.
Install the light in accordance with Figures A, D:
1. Rotate the solar cell housing
2. Move the ON / OFF switch
3. Insert the solar cell housing
4. Place the light on to the pole
5. Insert the ground stake

should therefore wear suitable protective gloves
at all times if such an event occurs.
Only use rechargeable batteries of the right
size and of the recommended type (see section
on "Technical data").
Ensure correct polarity. This is indicated in the
battery compartment for the rechargeable
battery.
