- 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.
