Replacing the batteries
Keep batteries away from children. Do not leave batteries lying around. There is the risk of their being
swallowed by children or domestic animals (danger of fatal injury). If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
Make sure that the batteries are not short-circuited, opened or thrown into a fire. There is a danger of
explosion. Check that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries (pay attention to plus and minus!).
Chemical liquids can leak from old or used batteries, damaging the device. Therefore, remove the batteries
from the device if you do not require it for a longer period (one month or longer) If your skin comes into
contact with leaking or damaged batteries, you may suffer burns. For this reason you should use suitable
protective gloves. Only use batteries of the correct size and the recommended type.
Only insert rechargeable batteries into solar lamp, not normal batteries which cannot be charged. These
could explode. Do not use old and new rechargeable batteries together and only use rechargeable batteries
of the same type and brand.

Open the cap of the top section by removing the four screws on the top with a suitable screwdriver.
 Remove the stainless steel cap.

Carefully lift off the solar cell. Take care not to tear off any of the connection cables. The electronic
circuit board is located underneath the solar cell. Unscrew the two small fastening screws from the
electronic circuit board.

Carefully lift off the circuit board. The rechargeable batteries are located underneath. Remove both
rechargeable batteries from the battery compartment.

Insert two new rechargeable batteries of the same type and capacity as the old batteries (note the
specifications on the original batteries), making sure that the polarity is correct. The correct polarity (plus
and minus) can be recognised by the sign in the battery compartment.

Screw the circuit board firmly back into place. Take care that the cables are not damaged.

Carefully place the solar cell onto the sealing ring again. Make sure that the sealing ring is positioned in
such a way that its protruding lug completely covers the open rear side of the on/off switch.

Put the stainless steel cap back onto the garden lamp.

Tighten in the four fastening screws of the stainless steel cap crosswise. When doing so, it is important
that the solar cell is sitting correctly in the opening of the stainless steel cap and that the fastening
screws are not tightened excessively. Otherwise, the solar cell could be damaged.
The solar lamp needs two to three sunny days to charge up the integrated rechargeable batteries as
far as possible. After setting up the solar lamp, it must therefore be switched on during the day for
two to three days in order to charge up (switch position "ON") and switched off during the night
(switch position "OFF").
To ensure consistently good performance, we recommend that you replace the rechargeable batteries
every12 months. The rechargeable batteries should be replaced immediately when the lamp lights up for only
a short period at night even though the batteries were sufficiently charged during the day.
Any claim to warranty will lapse in such cases.

For safety and licensing reasons (CE), unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the device is not
permitted.

The device may not be subjected to extreme temperatures (<-10°C / >+50°C), strong vibrations or
heavy mechanical stress.
 Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. In the hands of children, plastic foil and/or
bags and polystyrene parts etc. can turn into dangerous toys.

Do not allow children to play with the device. Children do not understand the risks associated with
electrical appliances.

Setting up
Select a suitable place to set up the lamp, e.g. the edge of a terrace or garden path. In order for the batteries
to charge up sufficiently, the product must be positioned where the solar cell will be exposed to direct sunlight
for as long as possible. Make sure that the solar cell is not covered or put in the shade. Do not position the
solar lamp under bushes, trees, porches etc., since this cuts down the sun exposure. The solar cell cannot
operate effectively in this case. For the solar cell to operate at its best, the sun's rays should hit it directly from
above if at all possible.
The solar lamp should be placed where the solar cell is exposed to sunlight for at least eight hours
each day.
Do not position the solar lamp directly next to other sources of light such as courtyard lighting,
streetlights etc., since this could stop the solar lamp from switching on at the right time. Make sure
that it is stable. Do not use force when assembling it or setting it up, e.g. by using a hammer, since
this will damage the product. Install the solar lamp in such a way that it cannot be tripped over. If you
remove the top section, you must also remove the standpipe and the earth spike so that these do not
cause accidents (e.g. tripping over).

Initial operation

If the solar cell was covered by a protective foil for transit, remove it. The solar lamp needs two to three sunny
days to charge up the integrated rechargeable batteries as far as possible. After setting up the solar lamp, it
must therefore be switched on during the day for two to three days in order to charge up (switch position
"ON") and switched off during the night (switch position "OFF").
On the underside of the stainless steel cap there is a small sliding switch marked with "ON" and "OFF".

Position "ON" The solar lamp is switched on. When the ambient light is low, the light will switch on
automatically.

Position "OFF" The solar lamp is switched off.

Functional description

The solar cell integrated in the centre of the upper part of the device charges the (replaceable) rechargeable
batteries during daylight. The device switches on the light automatically when darkness falls, and the
integrated rechargeable battery provides the energy for the light. The light is generated by two bright LED's
(light diodes).
These insure a relatively high luminosity with low energy consumption and a long service life. During the day,
the garden light switches itself off automatically.
Maintenance, cleaning and disposal
The product does not require any maintenance apart from replacing the rechargeable batteries as necessary.
Servicing or repair may only be carried out by a specialist/specialist workshop. The outside of the device
should be cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth or a dry brush. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or
chemical solutions which could damage the housing or impair operation. If the product becomes unusable,
dispose of it in accordance with the relevant statutory regulations.
