3. Setup & Installation

Follow these steps to set up your Bell+Howell Solar Disk Lights:

1. Activate the Switch: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the underside of each disk light. Slide the switch to the 'ON' position. This allows the solar panel to begin charging the internal battery.
2. Assemble the Stakes: The ground stakes are designed for stability. Attach one stake to the bottom of each disk light. The four-corner design ensures secure placement in the ground.
3. Choose a Location: Select an outdoor area that receives direct sunlight for at least 4-6 hours daily. This ensures optimal charging and maximum illumination time at night. Avoid placing lights under trees or in shaded areas.
4. Ground Installation: Gently push the assembled disk light (with stake) into the ground until the top surface is flush with the ground. Ensure the solar panel is unobstructed.
5. Hard Surface Installation (Optional): For hard surfaces like concrete or wood decks, the disk lights can be placed directly on the surface without stakes. Alternatively, some users may choose to secure them using screws (not included) through designated holes if available, or by using adhesive strips.

4. Operating Instructions

Your Bell+Howell Solar Disk Lights are designed for automatic, hassle-free operation:

• Automatic On/Off: Once the switch is in the 'ON' position and the lights have charged sufficiently in direct sunlight, they will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn.
• Charging: The integrated solar panel charges the internal battery during daylight hours. A full charge typically provides 8-10 hours of illumination.
• Manual Control: If you wish to turn off the lights before dawn, simply slide the ON/OFF switch on the underside to the 'OFF' position. Remember to switch it back to 'ON' for automatic operation.

5. Maintenance & Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Bell+Howell Solar Disk Lights, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Clean Solar Panels: Regularly wipe the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris. A clean panel ensures efficient sunlight absorption and charging.
• Weather Resistance: The lights feature a waterproof and rust-resistant metal casing. They are designed to withstand various weather conditions, including heavy rain and snow.
• Avoid Obstructions: Periodically check that no plants, leaves, or other objects are shading the solar panel, as this can reduce charging efficiency.
• Battery Replacement: Due to the special structural design of the light, it is not recommended to replace the battery. Attempting to do so may damage the water resistance of the light.
