Setup Instructions

1. Solar Panel Placement

Select a location for the solar panel that receives a minimum of 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Optimal sunlight exposure is crucial for efficient charging and extended night-time operation. Avoid shaded areas from trees, buildings, or other obstructions.

2. Ground Stake Installation

1. Attach the plastic ground stake to the back of the solar panel unit.
2. Gently insert the assembled stake into soft ground, ensuring the solar panel is angled towards the sun for maximum exposure.

3. Light String Deployment

Carefully uncoil the 164-foot LED string lights. The flexible copper wire allows for versatile decoration around trees, bushes, fences, patios, or any desired outdoor feature. Ensure the string is not excessively tangled or strained during installation.

4. Initial Charge

Before first use, allow the solar panel to charge for a full day (6-8 hours) in direct sunlight with the power switch in the 'ON' position. This ensures the internal battery is fully charged for optimal performance.
