(Light Emitting Diode) technology. There are no bulbs to replace. Cleaning It is important that the solar panel is kept free of dirt and debris. A dirty solar panel will not allow the batteries to fully charge. This will shorten the life of the batteries and cause the light to malfunction. Clean regularly with a dampened cloth or paper towel. 4 INSTR_822-2510 SS Tier.qxd 12/29/03 4:01 PM Page 6 Storage Tips Troubleshooting Information Solar lights can be left outside year round, even in cold weather. However, if you wish to store your light indoors for more than two or three days, follow these steps to prevent damage to rechargeable batteries: • Store at room temperature in a dry location. • Store solar light where it can receive some sunlight or room light each day. The batteries need light to maintain a charge during storage. • During prolonged storage, units must be fully discharged and charged once every month or remove batteries and replace with new Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries when ready for use. Check and replace batteries periodically throughout the year. • Do not store solar lights in a box, or a dark room without a source of light on the solar panel. This will damage the batteries and prevent their ability to hold a charge. • For best performance, do not store for prolonged periods. If your solar light does not turn on at night, it may be caused by one the following conditions: • Batteries are not fully charged or need replacement: a. Make sure your light is located in an area where the solar panel gets the maximum amount of FULL, DIRECT SUNLIGHT every day. b. If the weather has been cloudy or overcast during the day, the batteries will not be recharged for operation at night. The solar light must have direct sunlight every day to fully charge the batteries. If the solar light does not receive enough sunlight one day, it will recharge the next sunny day and resume normal operation. c. Check and replace the batteries periodically throughout the year, especially after winter months. Replacement batteries may be purchased from The Brinkmann Corporation Customer Service Department by calling 1-800-468-5252. 5 INSTR_822-2510 SS Tier.qxd 12/29/03 4:01 PM Page 7 • Other light sources: If your solar lights are located too close to a street light, porch light or another solar light, it may not turn on automatically at night. The built-in photocell light sensor is reacting to the other light source. Eliminate the other light source or relocate your solar lights. • Dirty solar panel: A dirty solar panel will not allow the batteries to fully charge. This will shorten the life of the batteries and cause the light to malfunction. Clean regularly with a dampened cloth or paper towel. After correcting the problem, check the light operation immediately after dark or in a dark room. If the light will only operate for a short time, the batteries need recharging. • Clean snow and debris off the solar panel to allow batteries to recharge. • Check and replace batteries periodically throughout the year, especially after winter months.
