3. Setup Instructions
- Unpack the Product: Carefully remove the solar globe light and any accessories from the packaging.
- Activate the Light: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the base of the solar light. Slide the switch to the "ON" position. The light will not illuminate during the day, but this step is crucial for automatic operation at night.
- Initial Charge: Place the solar light in a location where the solar panel can receive direct sunlight for 5-6 hours. This initial charge ensures the battery is adequately powered for its first use.
- Choose Placement:
- For Ground Placement: Attach the included ground stake to the base of the light. Gently push the stake into soft ground in your desired location. Ensure the solar panel is unobstructed.
- For Tabletop Placement: The light can be placed directly on any flat surface without the ground stake.

4. Operating Instructions
Once properly set up and charged, your Kaowod Solar Globe Light operates automatically:
- Automatic Charging: During daylight hours, the integrated solar panel converts sunlight into electricity, charging the internal AAA battery. This process typically takes 5-6 hours of direct sunlight for a full charge.
- Automatic Illumination: As dusk approaches and ambient light levels decrease, the light sensor will automatically activate the LEDs, causing the globe to illuminate.
- Automatic Shut-off: The light will automatically turn off at dawn or when the battery charge is depleted, whichever comes first. A full charge can provide 9-12 hours of continuous light.

5. Maintenance
To ensure your solar globe light continues to function effectively, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Clean the Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and efficient charging.
- Battery Replacement: The light uses 1 AAA rechargeable battery (included). If the light duration significantly decreases over time, the battery may need replacement. To replace, carefully open the battery compartment on the base, replace with a new rechargeable AAA battery, and ensure proper polarity.
- Seasonal Storage: If storing the light for an extended period, switch it to the "OFF" position and store it in a cool, dry place. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before storage and recharge it every few months to maintain battery health.
- Weather Resistance: The IP65/IP67 rating ensures the light is protected against heavy rain and snow. However, avoid submerging the light in water.
