Make sure the solar cell is free of dirt and free
of snow and ice in winter. Otherwise the per-
formance of the solar panel will be diminished.
Cold temperatures negatively impact the rechar-
geable battery operating time. When not using
the product for extended periods, e.g. in winter,
it should be cleaned and stored in a dry, warm
location. If this happens, switch off the product
and remove the rechargeable battery.
The LED is not replaceable. If the light source
has reached the end of its service life, the
entire product must be replaced.
Safety instructions for
batteries/rechargeable
batteries
DANGER TO LIFE! Keep batteries/rechargea-
ble batteries out of reach of children. If acci-
dentally swallowed seek immediate medical
attention.
Swallowing may lead to burns, perforation of
soft tissue, and death. Severe burns can occur
within 2 hours of ingestion.
DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
Never recharge non-rechargeable
batteries. Do not short-circuit batteries/
rechargeable batteries and/or open them.
Overheating, fire or bursting can be the result.
Never throw batteries/rechargeable batteries
into fire or water.
Do not exert mechanical loads to batteries/
rechargeable batteries.
Risk of leakage of batteries/rechargeable
batteries
Avoid extreme environmental conditions and
temperatures, which could affect batteries/
rechargeable batteries, e.g. radiators/direct
sunlight.
If batteries/rechargeable batteries have leaked,
avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous mem-
branes with the chemicals! Flush immediately
the affected areas with fresh water and seek
medical attention!
WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES!
Leaked or damaged batteries/
rechargeable batteries can cause
burns on contact with the skin. Wear suitable
protective gloves at all times if such an event
occurs.
In the event of a leakage of batteries/recharge-
able batteries, immediately remove them from
the product to prevent damage.
Only use the same type of batteries/recharge-
able batteries. Do not mix used and new bat-
teries/rechargeable batteries.
Remove batteries/rechargeable batteries if the
product will not be used for a longer period.
Risk of damage of the product
Only use the specified type of battery/
rechargeable battery!
Insert batteries/rechargeable batteries according
to polarity marks (+) and (-) on the battery/
rechargeable battery and the product.
Use a dry lint-free cloth or cotton swab to clean
the contacts on the battery/rechargeable battery
and in the battery compartment before inserting!
Remove exhausted batteries/rechargeable bat-
teries from the product immediately.
Functionality
The solar cell built into the product converts sunlight
into electricity and stores it in a Ni-MH rechargeable
battery. The LED switches on at dusk. The integrated
LED is an energy-saving illuminant with a very long
life. The light duration depends on the amount of
sunlight, the angle at which light hits the solar pa-
nel, and the tempera
ture (the rechargeable battery
capacity varies by te
mperature). A vertical angle of
light at temperatures above the freezing point is
ideal. The rechargeable battery will only achieve its
maximum capacity after several charging and
discharging cycles.
