SAFETY WARNINGS
• Do not cut the solar panel wire. Discontinue use if the
wire becomes frayed or broken.
• Do not immerse components in liquid.
• Do not use any other charging device other than the
single solar charging panel provided with this light. Do-
ing so may result in injury or damage to the light and
voids any warranty.
• Position the cord so that it is securely fastened and will
not result in a hazard (such as tripping).

THINGS TO REMEMBER

• Periodically clean the solar panel with a soft cloth and
warm water. Do not hose spray. Keep the collector clear
of snow and leaves. Make sure trees and other objects
do not block sunlight from the panel.
• If not to be used for several weeks, turn the unit OFF.
Store it with the panel connected and where the panel
can gather sunlight.
• Solar collection is only effective in direct sunlight. Every
hour the light is on requires a minimum of 16 hours of
sunlight charging. Solar panels collect less than 10%
of the sun's energy.
• Several days of use with overcast skies may discharge
the battery. If so, turn the power selection switch to the
OFF position and allow the sun to charge the battery
for 3 to 7 days.

or three days, follow these steps to prevent damage to
the battery:
1. Turn the power selection switch to the OFF position.
2. Keep the solar panel cord connected to the light and
store the light and solar panel where the solar panel
can receive some sunlight or room light each day.
The battery needs light to maintain a charge during
storage.
