Operation
Make sure that the cables hang loose and are not too
tight, otherwise they may break.
Do not use the product when it is still in the packaging.
The light chain must be unwound and spread out before
each use.
Do not hang objects on the product or cover the
product.
The LEDs are not dimmable and cannot be replaced.
The rechargeable batteries are inserted into the solar module
before the product is shipped.
1. Remove the protective film from the solar module.
2. Attach the holder to the ground spike. Slide the holder into
the hole on the back of the solar module.
3. Select a suitable mounting location with a soft surface. Rocky
surfaces may damage the ground spike. Carefully insert the
ground spike into the ground and ensure that it is securely in
place.
Place the solar module in a place with good access to light
so that the solar cell can charge the batteries during the day.
The solar module should not be covered or placed in the
shade (e.g. from trees or buildings).
4. Place the lightchain in the desired position..
5. Before using the light chain for the first time, leave it to
charge in the sun for approximately 8 hours.
6. To turn on the product, press the POWER button on the
back of the solar module. The LEDs turn on automatically
when the ambient brightness is low and turn o again during
sunlight hours.
7. Press the MODE on the back of the solar module to
select one of the 8 lighting eects. The lighting eects
are listed next to the POWER button. COMBINATION
(preset combination of dierent light eects) > IN WAVES
(waveform) > SEQUENTIAL (trailing eect) > SLO-GLO (slow
glow eect) > CHASING/FLASH (flashing light)> SLOW
FADE (slow fade) > TWINKLE/FLASH (twinkle eect) >
STEADY ON (always on)
8. If you do not plan to use the product for an extended period,
turn the product o using the POWER button and remove
the batteries.
The batteries charge automatically when sunlight shines on
the solar panel, regardless of whether the light is switched
on or o.
Important notes
• The power of the solar module varies according to the time of
year and depends on the duration and strength of the sunlight.
• Keep the solar panel clean. Dust and dirt reduce the eciency
of the solar panel, resulting in a lower charging current.
• During poor weather, you can remove the batteries and
charge them with a suitable battery charger. Always follow
the instructions in this manual when removing/replacing the
batteries.
Replacing the batteries
• Replace the batteries when you notice a significant drop in the
battery life despite sucient charging.
• Turn o the product before opening the battery compartment.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws on the back of
the solar module, and then remove the battery compartment
cover.
• Insert three new rechargeable batteries of the correct size and
type into the battery compartment (see "Technical Data").
Ensure that the battery is inserted in the correct polarity
("+"=positive; "-" = negative).
• Replace the battery compartment cover and tighten the screws.
Care and cleaning
• Before cleaning the product, turn o the light and allow it to
cool down.
• Do not use abrasive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other
chemical solutions, as these may damage the casing or stop the
product from functioning properly.
• Use a clean, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product. To remove
stubborn dirt, moisten the cloth slightly with water. Do not press
too hard on the solar panel, as this may damage the interior
components. Allow the product to dry out completely before
using it again.
