a) Make sure unit is placed under direct sunlight to charge
and not in a shaded or partially shaded area.
b) Prior to use, for units with an AUTO/OFF switch, check
that the unit has been set to AUTO (or ON) position and
allowed to charge a full sunny day. The AUTO position
automatically turns the unit ON at dusk. For units without
an AUTO/OFF switch, remove battery isolator tag and
allowed to charge a full sunny day.
c) Your solar light is equipped with a photosensor that
shuts the light off during the day. If the solar light is
placed too close to another light source, it may detect the
light and prevent the unit from turning on. Avoid placing
the solar light near other light sources.
d) Change battery(s) annually for best performance. Select
two AA, 400~600mAh, 1.2V, Ni-MH rechargeable
batteries at The Home Depot Stores in your area as being
replaced. Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of
different ratings.
Your solar lights are designed for outdoor use in all
climates. Rain and sprinklers will not damage your solar
lights.
The normal charging time for solar lights is decreased in
the winter months due to the shorter days and longer
nights. Expect your solar light performance to diminish in
the winter months.
