INSTR-minipost-stake.qxd 1/8/04 Storage Tips Troubleshooting Information Page 6 Solar lights can be left outside year round, even in cold weather. However, if you wish to store your light indoors for more than two or three days, follow these steps to prevent damage to rechargeable batteries: • Store at room temperature in a dry location. • Store solar light where it can receive some sunlight or room light each day. The battery needs light to maintain a charge during storage.
INSTR-minipost-stake.qxd 1/8/04 3:16 PM Page 7 • Other light sources: If your solar lights are located too close to a street light, porch light or another solar light, it may not turn on automatically at night. The built-in photocell light sensor is reacting to the other light source. Eliminate the other light source or relocate your solar lights. • Dirty solar panel: A dirty solar panel will not allow the battery to fully charge.
