Gardman Solar Butterflies Windchime - Manual (Page 2)

Assembly:
n Remove the parts carefully from the packaging to
avoid damage.
n Ensure that there are no tangles and that the chimes and
butterflies hang free.
n Move the switch to ‘on’ position.
Installation:
n Maximum sunlight will give the internal battery the best
charge and so give best results.
n Position solar lights where they are free from cover or shade
and, ideally, in a position that receives full sun throughout
the day.
n Avoid other light sources which may cause solar lights to flicker
on and off. Also allow a space of approx. 1.5m (5ft) between
solar lights.
n Hang the light from a secure hook or bracket.
n Solar lights will not be very bright or long lasting until a full
day’s sunlight has been received.
n Alternatively, batteries can be charged to full capacity in a
battery charger before use.
Maintenance:
n If solar panel gets dirty, the charging capacity will be reduced.
Clean panels occasionally with a damp cloth - avoid harsh
detergents or solvents as these can damage the panel.
n Batteries can be given a temporary boost in a battery charger
if there has been limited sun or extra light is needed for a
special occasion.
n Batteries may need replacing after 1-2 years, depending on
the conditions they have had to endure. The batteries are
housed on the underside of the solar panel and can be easily
accessed by unscrewing the 4 screws
n The battery (1xAA) can be replaced with any 1.2v rechargeable
ones available in retail outlets: choose a low power output
(mAh). Gardman replacement batteries are ideal for the
purpose
n Low winter light levels or harsh weather in your locality 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:
n Ensure the switch, if present, is in the on position and any
battery tabs removed.
n Low light levels caused by the position of the light, lack of sun
or short daylight hours will shorten the light duration.
n Other lighting can cause flickering in a solar light or even
prevent it operating.
n Check the batteries in case they need replacing: see
‘maintenance’ above.
In the event of your Solar Light failing, please turn the
operating switch off and leave to fully charge for 2 - 3
days in direct sunlight. After this time turn the switch
back to the ‘on’ position for working operation. If the
operation failure continues to persist, please contact
our Customer Service department.
