caused by one the following conditions:
• Battery is not fully charged or needs 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. Allow sunlight to
recharge the battery for 10 to 12 FULL, SUNNY
DAYS.
b.If the weather has been cloudy or overcast
during the day, the battery will not be recharged
for operation at night. The solar light must have
direct sunlight every day to fully charge the
battery. If the solar light does not receive enough
sunlight one day, it will recharge the next sunny
day and resume normal operation.

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
needs 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 battery 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.
