User Manual for Harbor Breeze 10842 LED Path Light

Quick guide from the manual

The Harbor Breeze 10842 LED Path Light is designed for easy assembly without tools. The estimated assembly time is 3-5 minutes. For optimal performance, ensure the solar panel receives full, direct sunlight and is kept free of snow, dirt, and debris. Use only AA 700mAh nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) rechargeable batteries.

Package Contents

Ensure all parts are present before assembly:

• Solar Top Housing (A)
• Light Housing (B)
• Ground Stake (C)

Installation

1. Assemble the ground stake (C) to the light housing (B).
2. Attach the housing assembly to the solar top housing (A).
3. Remove the pull tab from the battery compartment to activate the light.
4. Insert the assembled light into the ground. Note: The ground stake has a pointed edge; handle with care to avoid injury.

Choosing the Right Location

Select a location with full, direct sunlight. Shady areas will prevent the battery from charging fully, which reduces the operating time at night. Ensure the light is not placed near other nighttime light sources, such as street or porch lights, as this may prevent the light from turning on automatically.

Care and Maintenance

Clean the solar panel periodically with a damp cloth. Do not use chemicals or abrasives. If relocating the light, carefully detach it from the ground. If the light will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries.

Troubleshooting

If the light stops working or operates for a short duration:

• Ensure the battery is adequately charged by placing the unit in direct sunlight for three sunny days.
• Verify the light is in a location that receives sufficient sunlight.
• Ensure the solar top housing is not under any direct light source when testing, as the light is designed to turn on only when it is dark.
• If the battery is weak or no longer holds a charge, replace it with a new AA 700mAh Ni-MH rechargeable battery.

Safety Information

Do not use alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or Ni-Cd batteries. Do not mix battery types. Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly according to local regulations. Do not open, short circuit, or mutilate batteries.
