5� Operation
Before using for the first time
• Activate house number light by setting the pro-
gramme selector switch to ON.
The house number light stays in test mode for
one minute before it starts to work in its normal
operating mode.
Test mode
In test mode the house number light is switched ON
regardless of ambient brightness. The red LED is
also lit in test mode. No LED light can be seen
during the day because of its low level of brightness.
Setting the chosen operating mode by
programme selector switch
– OFF: factory setting.
The power consumers (LEDs) are deactivated.
– ON: house number light active. It switches ON
when ambient light falls below the light level
threshold (2 lux).
– Depending on battery charge, the house number
light is adjusted to optimum brightness. The
house number light switches OFF again
automatically at dawn.
Charging the battery manually
The red LED flashes when battery capacity is low
(e.g. in poor weather). The battery can be recharged
with a standard micro USB charging adapter (not
included). Battery recharging can take up to 6 hours.
Risk of damage to property from penetrating
moisture
When open, the micro USB charging socket (E) is
not protected from the ingress of water.

the light out of service.
