SETUP GUIDE

• Place in a Sunny Spot: If you want your lights to charge as efficiently as possible, pick a sunny position in your yard, garden, or other outdoor area where they will get plenty of sunshine throughout the day.
• Connect to the Ground Spike: After inserting the ground spike, fasten it to the string light. The supplied connection point should be lined up with the spike, and then you can either twist or snap it into position.
• Position the Solar Panel: To get the most out of the sun’s rays for charging purposes, position the solar panel so that it faces directly south.
• Put the Ground Spike in Place: Carefully place the ground spike into loose dirt or another appropriate surface, making sure it remains upright.
• Turn the Lights ON: Locate the solar panel’s ON/OFF switch and turn it to “ON” to turn the lights on.
• Make Sure They Get Direct Sunshine: Set up the lights so they’ll get direct sunshine all day long. Make sure they charge completely so they shine at night.
• Check the Rechargeable AAA Battery: The solar lights include a rechargeable AAA battery, so be sure to check it. Before using it, make sure it is correctly inserted and charged.
• Test the Automatic Function: Before you set it up permanently, make sure it turns on automatically by covering the solar panel to make it look like nightfall.
• Decorate with Twine: Once the lights are set up, you may decorate with twine by wrapping them around tree branches, flower stalks, or anything else you like.
• Avoid Shaded Areas: Lights won’t charge or work as well if they’re installed in constantly shaded regions, so try to avoid doing so if at all possible.
• Decorations: Before Christmas or any other holiday party, string lights over bushes, trees, or any outside buildings to create a merry atmosphere.
• Position Near Walkways: To Direct Guests and Set the Ambience, set up solar string lights along garden paths or walkways.
• Change Solar Panel Orientation: Changing the solar panel’s orientation on a seasonal basis will keep it exposed to the sun at its peak performance.
• Test the Lights: Make sure the lights work by turning them on at night and turning them off at morning. If that doesn’t work, make sure the solar panel is getting enough light.
• Battery Charge Check: To keep things running smoothly, check the battery charge level on a regular basis and swap out the battery if needed.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

• Solar Panel Maintenance: Wipe off the solar panel with a moist, gentle cloth on a regular basis to eliminate dust, filth, and other particles that can absorb sunlight and reduce charging effectiveness.
• Wear and Tear Check: Keep an Eye Out for Wear and Tear: Check the solar panel and bumble bee LED lights for cracks, chips, and other damage on a regular basis; replace any components that show indications of wear and tear.
• Storm Protection: Prevent Damage from Storms, Heavy Rain, or Snow: Take the lights out briefly if you predict severe weather.
• Keep Indoors During Extreme Weather: To Keep the Lights Working For Longer and Avoid Damage From Rain and Snow, Keep the Lights Indoors During Extreme Weather.
• Check the Battery: Make Sure the Battery Is Rechargeable: An AAA battery powers the lights. A new battery should fix any issues with the lights not turning on.
• Optimize Solar Panel Exposure: For optimal charging efficiency, place the solar panel such that it is directly exposed to sunshine at all times.
• Avoid Overloading: You don’t want to overload the solar panel and prevent it from charging properly, so try not to connect too many lights at once.
• Untwist Lights Carefully: To avoid damaging the cables or LEDs, carefully untwist the string lights before setting them up or putting them away.
• Replace Broken LEDs: To keep the lights evenly illuminated, replace broken or malfunctioning LEDs in the bumble bee lights immediately.
• Switch Off When Not in Use: To conserve battery life, you might want to switch off the lights when it’s cloudy or raining, as the batteries might not get a full charge.
• Clean the Light Sensor: Make Sure the Light Sensor Is Clear: If the solar panel’s light sensor is clouded with leaves or anything else, it won’t be able to detect light correctly.
• Check Ground Spike: Check the Ground Spike From Time to Time: Make sure the ground spike is firmly planted in the dirt so it doesn’t come loose.
• Keep Out of Reach of Pets/Children: Make sure the lights and solar panel are out of the reach of pets and young children so they don’t break or tamper with them by accident.
• Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep Lights Away from Sharp Items: To keep the lights’ wiring and LEDs in good condition, make sure they stay away from any sharp items.
• Replace Damaged Lights: Replace lights if you discover damage to the wiring, such as a short circuit or exposed wires, which should be checked regularly.
