Solar lights work by using electricity generated by the solar panel to charge internal batteries. These batteries are
then used to power the light. When switched on the lights automatically illuminate at night by using a sensor. The
duration of illumination will depend on the amount of sunlight and therefore charge received by the batteries.
First unplug the display switch used for the “try me”
packaging (see NOTE to right). Although there may be some
charge left in the battery we recommend fully charging it
before first use. Leave the switch in the off position for 2
sunny days to ensure the battery is fully charged. Once fully
charged, switch to auto. The light will automatically illuminate
when it gets dark. You can cover the solar panel to test that
the light is operating.
Rechargeable batteries become less efficient with repeated
charge-discharge cycles and the battery capacity reduces. If you find
that the battery appears ot be less efficient or does not run for long we
suggest you first try to boost charge it. Switch off for 3 to 5 sunny days
to allow the maximum charge to the battery. If after this boost charge
your battery still does not perform to expectations you should replace it.
To change the battery, remove 4 screws and open the compartment as
shown, remove the existing batteries and replace with a new ones. Only
use 1.2V Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. Please ensure that the batteries
are disposed of according to local regulations.
