Maintenance
Replacing the battery
NOTE: Use one 14430 Lithium Phosphate, 450mAh, 3.2V
rechargeable battery. For best performance, replace with a
Lithium phosphate rechargeable battery(s) every 18 months.
IMPORTANT: Dispose of the battery in accordance with local,
state, and federal regulations.
IMPORTANT: When storing any solar product for an extended
period of time, remove the batteries. Storing any solar product
without regular recharge or removal of batteries could cause
permanent damage to the rechargeable batteries.
Hold the lamp housing (B), and rotate the top cap (A) counter-
□
clockwise until it is loose. Then, remove the top cap (A) from the
lamp housing (B).
□
Remove the battery cover (F) and the old battery (E). Replace with a
new 14430 Lithium Phosphate rechargeable battery – The
recommended replacement battery capacity should be
450~600mAh.
□
Replace the battery cover (F). Place the top cap (A) back on the
lamp housing (B), and rotate the top cap (A) clockwise until it locks
in place.
Care and Cleaning
□
The solar panel should be cleaned periodically with a damp cloth to help maintain optimum performance.
□
Do not use any cleaners with chemicals, solvents, or harsh abrasives.
Troubleshooting
Problem
The nightly run time is
shorter.
The solar light does
not turn on at night.
Possible Cause
The battery is not fully charged.
The battery is reaching the end of its useful life.
Your solar light is equipped with an AUTO/OFF switch on
the back plate of the top cap. This switch must be set to
AUTO prior to use.
The solar light is installed close to other light sources,
which may keep the solar light from turning on at night
automatically.
Solution
Ensure the solar light is located in an area where it can
receive the maximum amount of full, direct sunlight every
day. Keeping the solar panel clean is equally important to
ensure the maximum charging performance.
Replace the old battery with a Lithium phosphate
rechargeable battery.
Prior to use, check that the unit has been set to the AUTO
position and allowed to charge a full sunny day.
Relocate the fixture or eliminate other light sources.
