Insert a NiMH, AAA, 1.2 V
rechargeable battery (included in delivery) into
the rechargeable battery compartment
Note: Ensure correct polarity. This is indi-
cated in the battery compartment
Place the cover back onto the rechargeable

Make sure that the cables do not get
jammed when you shut the solar casing

How to use
Switching the light
on and off
Switch the ON / OFF button
tom of the solar casing
OFF position to switch the lamp on or off.
Note: If the ON / OFF button
ON position, then the LED light switches on
automatically.
Note: Switch the lamp off (OFF position) if
the lamp will be in the dark for any length
of time (e.g. when transporting it with a
rechargeable battery inserted) or the burn
time is not satis factory due to a very short
incidence of light.
Charging rechargeable
batteries
Open the solar casing
position.
Switch the ON / OFF button
tom of the solar casing
sition to recharge the rechargeable battery.
Note: The solar cell
that is as direct as possible to recharge the
rechargeable battery. In order to get the
best possible results, place the light in a

Place the solar cell
possible to the angle of incidence of the
light. In this way you will receive the highest
light levels.
Trouble-shooting
= Problem
= Cause
= Solution
The light does not come on when it
is dark, even though it was
exposed to sunlight all day.
Artificial sources of light such as street light-
ing or similar are making the Photosensor
believe it is still daylight.
Place the lamp somewhere where it is
shielded from artificial sources of light.
The lamp only comes on for a short
time or not at all.
The rechargeable battery is flat or there is
not enough daylight to recharge the
rechargeable battery.
Replace the rechargeable battery or place
the lamp in a sunnier position.
