Installation; Maintenance; Troubleshooting - Cole & Bright 18228 Bedienungsanleitung

Assembly:
Carefully remove the parts from the packaging.
n
Insert the spike into the base of the stem.
n
To access the on/off switch, carefully twist the lens
n
section anticlockwise and remove it. Move the switch
on the underside to 'on' and replace the lens.

Installation:

Maximum sunlight will give the internal battery
n
the best charge and so give best results.
Position solar lights where they are free from cover or
n
shade and, ideally, in a position that receives full sun
throughout the day.
Avoid other light sources which may cause solar lights
n
to flicker on and off. Also allow a space of approx. 1.5m
(5ft) between solar lights.
Push the spike carefully into the ground: if the ground is
n
hard, first make a hole to avoid damaging it.
Solar lights will not be very bright or long lasting until
n
a full day's sunlight has been received.
Alternatively, batteries can be charged to full capacity in a
n
battery charger before use.
To achieve the best results from the motion sensor, if
n
placing along a pathway, position with the motion sensor
facing across the pathway. This way the motion sensor can
be activated when approaching from either direction.

Maintenance:

If solar panels get dirty, the charging capacity will be
n
reduced. Clean panels occasionally with a damp cloth
– avoid harsh detergents or solvents as these can damage
the panel.
Batteries can be given a temporary boost in a battery
n
charger if there has been limited sun or extra light is
needed for a special occasion.
Batteries may need replacing after 1-2 years, depending
n
on the conditions they have had to endure. The batteries
are housed on the underside of the solar panel of the
light and can be easily accessed by removing the panel.
The batteries are housed at the reverse of the solar
panel and can be accessed by removing the panel.
The battery (1x Li-ion per light) can be replaced with and
n
3.2v rechargeable ones available in retail outlets: choose
a low power output (mAh). Gardman replacement
batteries are ideal for the purpose.
Low winter light levels or harsh weather in your locality
n
may lead you to decide to store your solar lights indoors
until conditions improve. If so, clean and dry the lights,
turn off or remove the batteries: store in a dry spot
and reassemble in spring as described in 'installation'.

Troubleshooting:

If your solar light does not operate properly at night it may
be caused by one of the following:
Ensure the switch, if present, is in the on position and
n
any battery tabs removed.
Low light levels caused by the position of the light, lack
n
of sun or short daylight hours will shorten the
light duration.
Other lighting can cause flickering in a solar light or
n
even prevent it operating.
Check the batteries in case they need replacing: see
n
'maintenance' above.
