- Activate the Light: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the underside of each solar light. Slide the switch to the "ON" position.
- Choose Location: Select an outdoor location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. This ensures the solar panel can fully charge the battery. Avoid shaded areas.
- Clean Surface: Ensure the installation surface (steps, walkway, etc.) is clean, dry, and smooth for proper adhesion.
- Attach Adhesive Pads: Peel the protective backing from one side of an adhesive pad and firmly attach it to the bottom of the solar light. Then, peel the other side and press the light firmly onto your desired surface.

Operating Instructions
The DetarZinLED Solar Step Lights are designed for simple, automatic operation:
- Once the ON/OFF switch is set to "ON" during installation, the lights will automatically detect ambient light conditions.
- During daylight hours, the integrated solar panel will absorb sunlight and convert it into electrical energy to charge the internal 1000 mAh battery.
- At dusk or when the surrounding environment becomes dark, the lights will automatically turn on, providing warm white illumination for 8-10 hours, depending on the amount of sunlight received during the day.
- At dawn or when sufficient light returns, the lights will automatically turn off and begin recharging.

Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your solar step lights, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Clean Solar Panels: Regularly wipe the solar panels with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. A clean panel ensures efficient charging.
- Clear Obstructions: Ensure no trees, bushes, or structures are blocking direct sunlight from reaching the solar panels, especially during peak charging hours.
- Check Adhesion: Periodically check the adhesive pads to ensure the lights remain securely attached to the surface. Reapply or replace adhesive if necessary.
- Weather Resistance: While the lights are IP68 waterproof, extreme weather conditions (e.g., prolonged heavy rain, blizzards) may temporarily affect performance. Ensure proper drainage around the installation area.
