6. Operating Instructions
The Xanlite GRL5GUINRVB Solar String Lights are designed for automatic operation:
- Automatic On/Off: The lights feature a built-in light sensor. They will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn, provided the solar panel has received sufficient sunlight during the day.
- Power Button: Locate the power button on the back or side of the solar panel. Press it once to turn the lights ON. Press it again to turn them OFF. Ensure the lights are in the 'ON' position for automatic operation.
- Mode Button (if applicable): Some models may have a mode button to switch between different lighting effects (e.g., steady on, flashing, fading). Refer to the solar panel for specific button functions.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your solar string lights:
- Clean the Solar Panel: Periodically wipe the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. A clean panel ensures efficient charging.
- Check Connections: Ensure all connections are secure and free from corrosion.
- Bulb Replacement: The LED bulbs are designed for long life and are generally not user-replaceable. If a bulb fails, the entire string may need to be replaced.
- Winter Storage: During prolonged periods of non-use or harsh winter conditions, it is recommended to bring the solar panel indoors to protect the battery.
