the solar module has fully charged the battery.
In winter or after a couple of consecutively cloudy
days, it is possible that the battery may not sufficiently
charge. Set the switch to OFF for a couple of days to
turn off the LEDs.

Safety Instructions

Read the safety instructions, and use your Bördies only as instructed.
• Do not operate the Solar-LED Bördy Starlight with non-rechargeable batteries.
Explosion hazard!
• Do not take batteries apart, do not expose them to fire, and do not short-cir-
cuit them. If a battery is leaking, do not expose skin, eyes or mucous membranes
to any of its contents.
• Due to its extremely long product lifetime, it is not necessary to replace the
LED. It cannot and must not be replaced. The LED is permanently mounted into
the lamp head. Opening the lamp head damages the LED or the lamp head itself.
• Remove the battery from the product if it has been depleted or if you stop
using the product. This prevents damage due to a leaking battery.
• Do not modify the product.
• Do not use glue, paint or other covers on the solar module.
• The Bördies are splash proof, but must not be submerged in water.
• Make sure that the battery compartment is facing downward during operation,
otherwise water may enter the compartment.

Replacing the Battery

Rechargeable batteries are designed for long-time operation.
However, after long usage, it may be necessary to replace the
battery. Batteries naturally deteriorate over time and their capacity can decrease.
Open the battery compartment on the base of the solar module with the appropri-
ate screwdriver and replace the battery with a new battery of the same type.
Ensure the correct polarity (+/-) when inserting the new battery, and close the
battery compartment again.
Cleaning
Clean the Bördies and the solar module if necessary with a soft, slightly moiste-
ned piece of cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, aggressive, or abrasive cleaning
agents.
Problems & Solutions
• The LED doesn't glow. Are the surroundings too bright? Verify if other light
sources prevent the LED from turning on. Move the solar module to a darker
location if necessary. Is the battery charged? Please refer to „Usage".
• The LED light is weak. The battery is not fully charged or has been depleted;
try replacing with a new battery. Refer to „Replacing the Battery".
• The strength of the light varies with the seasons. This is due to weather chan-
ges and is not an error. Most favourable conditions are during summertime.
