It is important that the solar panel is kept free of dirt and debris. A dirty
solar panel will not allow the battery to fully charge. This will shorten the life
of the battery and cause the light to malfunction. Clean regularly with a
dampened cloth or paper towel.
Solar security lights can be left outside year round, even in cold weather.
However, if you wish to store your light indoors for more than two or three
days, follow these steps to prevent damage to the battery:
•
Store at room temperature in a dry location.
•
Turn the switch to "OFF" position. Never store unit with switch in
"AUTO" or "TEST" positions. This will damage the battery and it will not
recharge.
•
Store light and solar panel where it can receive some sunlight or
room light each day. The battery needs light to maintain a charge
during storage.
•
During prolonged storage, unit must be fully charged once every four
months or remove the battery and replace with a new rechargeable
battery when ready for use. You may need to replace the battery after
prolonged storage.
•
Do not store the unit in a box, or a dark room without a source of light
on the solar panel. This will damage the battery and prevent its ability
to hold a charge.
•
For best performance, do not store for prolonged periods.
If your security light blinks on and off:
•
Direct lamps away from detector or reposition detector.
•
Remove heat sources located near or under detector.
•
Direct detector away from streets or active sidewalks.
