4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to set up your Xanlite LED Solar Scales:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Assemble: Attach the ground spike firmly to the bottom of each solar light unit. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Select Location: Choose an outdoor location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Avoid shaded areas or locations under eaves.
- Initial Charge: Before first use, allow the solar lights to charge in direct sunlight for a full day (approximately 8-10 hours) with the power switch in the 'ON' position. This ensures the internal battery is fully charged.
- Install: Gently push the assembled solar light, with the ground spike, into soft ground. Do not force the light into hard soil, as this may damage the spike or the unit. If the ground is hard, pre-dig a small hole.
5. Operating Instructions
The Xanlite LED Solar Scales are designed for automatic operation.
- Power On/Off: Locate the power switch, usually on the underside of the solar panel or within the light housing. Switch it to the 'ON' position for automatic operation.
- Automatic Operation: Once switched 'ON' and fully charged, the lights will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn.
- Light Modes: These lights are equipped with two working modes:
- Cool White Light: Provides a steady, bright white illumination.
- RGB Light: Cycles through various colors for a decorative effect.
To switch between modes, typically there is a button or a specific sequence of turning the light off and on. Refer to the specific markings on your unit for mode selection.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your solar lights.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean solar panel ensures efficient charging.
- Battery: The integrated battery is designed for long-term use. If the light duration significantly decreases over time, it may indicate the battery's lifespan is nearing its end. Consult manufacturer guidelines for battery replacement if applicable.
- Winter Care: In regions with heavy snow or prolonged periods of low sunlight, you may consider bringing the lights indoors during winter months to protect them and extend battery life.
