Initial Charge: Before first use, ensure the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight for a full day (at least 8 hours) with the power switch in the "ON" position. This allows the battery to fully charge.

5. Operating Instructions

The Näve Solar LED Light Rope is designed for automatic operation.

Power Switch: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the back or bottom of the solar panel unit. Slide the switch to the "ON" position to activate the lights.
Mode Selection: Some models may include a "MODE" button next to the ON/OFF switch. Press this button to cycle between continuous (steady on) and flashing light modes. If no mode button is present, the lights will operate in a single, pre-set mode.
Automatic Operation: Once activated and sufficiently charged, the lights will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn. The duration of illumination depends on the amount of sunlight received during the day.

6. Maintenance

Cleaning the Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures efficient charging.
Battery Replacement: The integrated battery is a 1x AA NiMH 1.2V 400mA rechargeable battery. If the lights' performance significantly decreases over time, the battery may need replacement.
1. Carefully open the battery compartment on the solar panel unit (usually secured with small screws).
2. Replace the old battery with a new rechargeable AA NiMH 1.2V 400mA battery of the same type and capacity.
3. Ensure correct polarity (+/-) when inserting the new battery.
