A solar thermometer is an environment-friendly product. A
solar cell converts sunlight into electricity and recharges the
battery. The light turns on automatically at dusk using the
electricity stored during the day.

· Keep these instructions for future reference and include
these instructions if you pass on the product to third par-

· The solar thermometer is intended for outdoor tempera-
ture determination. Any other use as well as modifications
of the product have to be considered as improper use and
could cause injuries or product damages. The manufactu-

Safety instruction
⚠
Warning
Life and accident risk for toddlers and kids! To
avoid danger of suffocation, keep packing ma-
terials away from babies and children. Risk of
suffocation due to packing material. Small parts
can be swallowed! Children often underestimate
the dangers!
· This solar thermometer is only suitable for decoration and
not a toy!
· NEVER look directly and unprotected into the LED!
attention!
The integrated LED is not replaceable.
Set up
· Remove the head and turn the switch to „On". The solar
thermometer is now ready-to-use.
· The battery should be charged at least 8-12 hours before
first use to reach its full capacity. To load the battery only
partly will shorten the lifetime of the battery drastically.
· The light will turn on automatically at dusk.
· To turn the solar thermometer off, turn the On/Off-switch
to „Off".
Location & installation
· The light ON time depends on your geographical location,
weather conditions and seasonal lighting availability.
· Select a location with full direct sunlight. In a shaded loca-
tion the battery will not charged completely.
· Do not place the solar light near to night-time light sour-
ces such as domestic lighting or street lights. The lights
may not turn on.
· Choose a location with high solar radiation.
· In winter solar cells do not receive as much sunlight as
in summer. That will affect the number of hours the solar
light is illuminated for.
Battery
If necessary replace the battery with a rechargeable battery
of the same type (see Technical details). Other battery types
could damage the solar thermometer.
1. If necessary replace the rechargeable battery by remo-
ving the head and opening the battery compartment.
2. Replace the rechargeable battery with a fresh rechar-
geable battery. Be sure to align the polarity (+/-) of the
battery as indicated by the polarity inscriptions inside of
the battery compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment and replace the head.
noTicE
NEVER dispose of old and used batteries with your
household waste! Every end user is engaged to
take back empty batteries. They can be delivered
free of charge to the selling point or a local coll-
ecting point!
Troubleshooting
If your solar thermometer does not turn on at night, it may
be caused by one the following reasons:
· The battery needs bright daylight to recharge. Cloudy
weather may cause the battery to loose power. The solar
cell will recharge the battery on the next sunny day and
return to normal operation.
· Check the postion of the solar cell (see Location & Ins-
tallation). If the solar cell does not receive enough direct
sunlight, it can not recharge the battery completely.
· Dirty solar cell: A dirty solar cell can not recharge the bat-
tery completely. This affects the battery lifetime. Clean the
solar cell from dirt and debris.
· If the solar thermometer does not turn on in periodes of
good weather conditions, the battery should be replaced.
cleaning and care
Clean the solar cell regularly with a damp cotton or micro-
fibre cloth.
Storage
During permanently bad weather (hail, storms, snow, ...)
you should remove the solar thermometer and store in a
dry place. Turn off the product. Let the rechargeable battery
charge again completely before you use it again.
