Solar house number light
Product no.: 011007 plastic
Product no.: 011014 stainless steel
Designated use (Fig. B)
The solar house number light is designed for outdoor use. The solar module (1) built into the upper
part converts sunlight falling on it into electric current. The energy thus won is stored in the built-in
rechargeable batteries. The light switches itself on automatically at dusk/dark and off again in day-
light.
Safety instructions
Claims for warranty become invalid for damage or injuries incurred by not following these
operating instructions. No liability is accepted for consequential damage or injuries.
No liability is accepted for property damage or personal injury incurred through improper use or by
not following the safety instructions. All claims for warranty become invalid in such cases. For rea-
sons of safety and licensing (CE), alterations and/or modifications to the solar house number light
are are not permitted.
If you are uncertain about assembly, connection or installation or have doubts about using the light,
don't attempt to do this yourself, but get expert help instead.
First use/charging the batteries
The solar house number light may be operated with NiMh rechargeable batteries only.
Never use normal batteries.
The batteries must be charged before initial use or after being replaced. Fully charge the batteries
using a commercially available NiMh battery charger. Charging times will depend on charger and
battery capacity.
Alternatively, the batteries can be charged using the solar cells by placing the solar house number
light outdoors in the direct sunlight for approx. 13 hours.

Unscrew (3) the front part and remove it. Insert the charged batteries. Install the base plate before
putting the front plate on again.
011007 only (Fig. E)
Open the battery compartment (2) and insert the charged batteries.
Special attention for solar lights (Fig. C)
Condition
Shady areas reduce battery charging capacity
In winter there are fewer hours of sunshine than in
the summer months
Dirt, leaves, snow on solar cells reduce
charging current
Low temperatures decrease battery performance
Installation
Affix the desired house number before installation.
Clean with mild detergent beforehand to ensure a long-lasting bond.
011014 only (Fig. D)
Install the base plate using the 3 included screws/dowels. Fit the front plate into place and fasten
using screw (3).

Assembly with number board (4):
Fasten the upper part of the light with 2 of the included screws/dowels. Caution: Keep the centre
hole free.

Attach the number plate to the upper part of the light and fasten using the remaining 2 screws/dow-
els. Insert the included cover caps into the holes on the bottom.
Assembly without number board (5):
Fasten the upper part of the light with 3 of the included screws/dowels. Insert the included cover cap
into the centre hole.

Setting 1 = full brightness, setting 2 = half brightness (suitable for shady places, winter months)
Maintenance and disposal
Except for having to replace the batteries, the solar house number light is virtually maintenance free.
The use of caustic detergents can damage the surface and lead to adverse effects.
Follow local regulations when disposing of the product once it has become unusable. Make sure
that the batteries are removed beforehand.
Battery safety instructions/disposal
As the end consumer you are legally required to return all used batteries under law.
Disposal in household/bulk rubbish is prohibited. Local regulations may vary.
Keep batteries away from children.
Leaky or damaged batteries can cause burns when coming into contact with skin. You should there-
fore wear suitable protective gloves in such cases.
Do not short-circuit batteries or throw them into fire. There is a danger of explosion.
Remove the installed batteries if not being used for prolonged periods of time (e.g. for storage).
This will avoid damage due to leaky or worn out batteries.
