• Always handle solar lights with care.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the product beyond routine maintenance.
• Keep batteries away from children. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.

Package Contents

Verify that all components are present in your package:

• 6 x Solar Pathway Lights (Integrated LED)
• 6 x Ground Stakes
• 6 x AA Rechargeable Batteries (pre-installed)

Setup

Follow these steps to set up your solar pathway lights:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging.
2. Activate Light: Locate the ON/OFF switch, usually found near the battery compartment or under the solar panel. Ensure the switch is in the "ON" position.
3. Attach Ground Stake: Securely attach the ground stake to the bottom of each light fixture.
4. Select Location: Choose an outdoor location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Avoid shaded areas, as this will reduce charging efficiency and illumination time.
5. Install Light: Gently push the assembled light, with the stake, into the ground. Ensure the light is stable and upright. Do not force the light into hard ground; if necessary, loosen the soil first.

Operating Instructions

The Hampton Bay Solar Pathway Lights are designed for automatic operation:

• Initial Charge: Allow the lights to charge for a full 24-48 hours in direct sunlight before first use to ensure the battery is fully charged.
• Automatic Operation: Once fully charged and the switch is in the "ON" position, the lights will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn.
• Light Duration: The duration of illumination depends on the amount of sunlight received during the day. Longer charging times result in longer illumination.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your solar lights:

• Cleaning Solar Panel: Periodically wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris. A clean solar panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption for efficient charging.
• Battery Replacement: The included AA rechargeable batteries have a limited lifespan. If the lights begin to dim or illuminate for shorter periods, it may be time to replace the batteries. Use only rechargeable AA batteries of the same voltage and capacity. To replace, carefully open the battery compartment (usually located under the solar panel), remove the old battery, and insert the new one, observing correct polarity (+/-).
• Winter Care: In areas with heavy snow or prolonged periods of low sunlight, you may choose to bring the lights indoors during winter months to protect them and extend battery life.
