5. Operating Instructions

The solar lamp operates automatically once installed and initially charged.

1. Initial Charge: Before first use, allow the lamp to charge in direct sunlight for at least 24-48 hours with the power switch (if present, typically on the underside) in the 'ON' position. This ensures the internal battery is fully charged.
2. Automatic Operation: The built-in light sensor will detect ambient light levels. The lamp will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn.
3. Controller Type: While the lamp operates automatically, some models may include a push button for manual override or to ensure the unit is activated for automatic function. Refer to the specific unit for any visible buttons.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance of your solar lamp.

• Clean Solar Panel: Periodically wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption for efficient charging.
• Check for Obstructions: Ensure no new obstructions (e.g., growing foliage) are blocking sunlight from reaching the solar panel.
• Battery: The NI-MH battery is designed for long-term use. If the lamp's performance significantly degrades after several years, the battery may need replacement by a qualified technician, though it is generally not user-serviceable.

7. Troubleshooting

If your solar lamp is not functioning as expected, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• Lamp does not turn on at night:
  • Ensure the lamp is in an 'ON' position (if it has a switch).
  • Verify the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight for sufficient charging during the day. Relocate if necessary.
  • Check if the solar panel is dirty or obstructed. Clean it as described in the Maintenance section.
  • Ensure there are no strong light sources (e.g., streetlights, other outdoor lights) near the lamp that might trigger its light sensor to keep it off.
• Lamp stays on for a short duration:
  • The battery may not be fully charged. Ensure the solar panel receives maximum direct sunlight for a full day.
  • Battery performance can decrease over time or in cold weather.
• Lamp appears dim:
  • The battery may be low. Allow for a full day of charging.
  • Ensure the LED cover is clean.
