INSTALLATION & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SOLAR LAMP
Thank you for the purchase of your new solar lamp. We take great pride in providing you a superior quality
ecologically friendly solar lamp. Contained in this instruction sheet are some simple steps to gain the most
enjoyment and longevity from your solar lamp.
Charging: All solar-powered lighting requires a sufficient amount of sunlight to recharge the batteries. Solar
lighting performance is based on the amount of sunlight received during the day. Your Solar Light can run up
to 9 hours when fully charged. Place your solar light in an area which is free from cover, shade or shadow.
Note that if it is placed in a shaded area, the performance may be dramatically reduced. In winter months or
on cloudy days, the charging time will increase.
First Time Battery Installation and Annual Battery Replacement: Use rechargeable battery only. Use
one AA Ni-MH 1200mAh, 1.2V battery. For best performance, replace with Ni-MH rechargeable battery
annually. To replace or install battery, unscrew the bottom cap from the back of the solar box assembly and
remove it. Install or replace battery and replace the bottom cap with the two screws.
Contains Ni-MH battery(s). Battery(s) must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Care and Cleaning: Remove the plastic film on the solar panel before using. The solar panel should be
cleaned periodically with a damp cloth to help maintain optimum performance. Wipe clean with damp cloth.
Use only mild soap and detergents.
Trouble Shooting: Try the following and if you still have a problem, please contact a Customer Service
representative at [e-mail] or 830-249-1200.
