Setup and Installation

  1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging.
  2. Assemble Solar Panel: Attach the ground stake to the solar panel.
  3. Position Solar Panel: Choose a location for the solar panel that receives 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Ensure the panel is not obstructed by trees, buildings, or other objects. Insert the ground stake firmly into the soil.
  4. Initial Charge: Before first use, ensure the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours with the power switch in the 'ON' position. This allows the internal battery to fully charge.

Maintenance

  • Clean Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures optimal charging efficiency.
  • Clear Obstructions: Ensure no leaves, snow, or other objects are covering the solar panel, as this will reduce its ability to charge.
  • Storage: If storing the lights for an extended period, turn the power switch to 'OFF' and store them in a cool, dry place.
  • Battery Replacement: The internal battery is designed for long-term use. If the lights' performance significantly degrades over time, contact customer support for guidance. Do not attempt to replace the battery yourself unless explicitly instructed.
