Package Contents

Installation
- Assemble the light by connecting the solar top housing to the stake assembly.
- Attach the ground stake to the bottom of the assembly.
- Pull the battery tab from the solar top housing to activate the light.
- Insert the stake firmly into the ground.
Choosing the Right Location
For optimal performance, select a location that receives full, direct sunlight throughout the day. Shady areas will prevent the battery from charging fully, resulting in shorter operating times at night. Avoid placing the light near other nighttime light sources, such as street or porch lights, as this may prevent the automatic sensor from activating the light.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the solar panel regularly with a damp cloth. Do not use chemicals or abrasives. Keep the panel free of snow, dirt, and debris.
- Battery Replacement: If the light stops working or operates for a short duration, the battery may need replacement. Use only 14500 600mAh Li-ion rechargeable batteries.
- Relocation: When moving the light, carefully detach it from the ground. Be cautious of the pointed edge on the ground stake.
Troubleshooting
- Light does not work: Ensure the battery is charged by placing the unit in direct sunlight for three sunny days. Check that the solar top housing is not under any direct light source during testing.
- Short operating time: Ensure the light is in a sunnier location and that the solar panel is clean.
- Battery issues: If the battery is weak or no longer holds a charge, replace it with a new 14500 600mAh Li-ion battery.
Safety Information
Read the entire manual before assembly. Do not use alkaline, carbon-zinc, or Ni-Cd batteries. Only use Li-ion rechargeable batteries. Do not mix battery types. Do not open, short circuit, or mutilate batteries. Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations.
