SOLAR STRING LIGHT
USER'S MANUAL
HOW SOLAR LIGHT WORKS
During the day, the solar panel converts solar power into the rechargeable battery. At night, the light turns on automatically by stored energy. The duration the light illuminates depends on your geographical location, weather conditions, and seasonal light availability.
CHOOSING AN IDEAL LOCATION
The selected location should not be near strong lighting sources, such as street lights, which may cause the light to turn off automatically. This is because a sensor inside detects brightness and controls the light's operation.
Solar lights are ideal for night lighting of gardens and lawns. They can also be used by placing the solar light outdoors during the day for charging and then bringing it indoors for illumination at night.
For optimal performance, choose an outdoor location with full, direct sunshine where the solar panel can receive at least 6 hours of sunshine time each day. Shady locations will prevent the batteries from charging sufficiently, thus shortening the working time of the lighting at night.
This section includes visual aids showing mounting options: a solar panel unit mounted on a wall, a solar panel unit inserted into the ground, and a close-up of the solar panel itself.
ATTENTION FOR FIRST TIME USE
There is a red button (Power switch) located in the battery box. Press the Power switch (ON/OFF) to activate the automatic system. When the ambient light turns dark, the solar light will illuminate automatically. During daylight, the solar light will turn off and store energy from the solar panel. Pressing the button again will break the current to conserve energy.
If the light does not turn on automatically after 6 hours of charging during the day, please check the following:
- 1. Ensure the power switch is in the "ON" position (refer to your specific model).
- 2. Verify that the male/female connectors are connected correctly. If the entire light string does not turn on, it might be due to a loose connection. Disconnect and reconnect the connectors, trying a different orientation if necessary.
- 3. Confirm the light is situated in a sunny location, not a shady area, and that the solar panel faces directly towards the sun.
This section illustrates the control components. It shows the battery box with its power switch, and the remote control with labels indicating its functions such as infrared receiver and controls for light mode, brightness, and timing.
PRECAUTIONS
- (1) The light is designed to operate when ambient light levels decrease. If strong light sources are present nearby, the LED light may appear dim or fail to operate.
- (2) While the battery is pre-charged by the manufacturer, its electric level might be reduced upon receipt. For maximum performance, charge the unit for a full day.
- (3) Keep the surface of the solar panel clean. Dust accumulation can reduce charging efficiency.
UPGRADED REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control allows for operation of the solar string lights. Before first use, remove the battery separator.
The remote control also features numbered buttons from 1 to 8.
