Safety instructions for
rechargeable batteries
Fire hazard! Do not allow recharge-
able batteries to short-circuit. Other-
wise the rechargeable batteries may
overheat, become a fire hazard or explode.
EXPLOSION HAZARD! Never
throw rechargeable batteries into
fire or water. Outdated or used
rechargeable batteries may leak chemical fluids
that damage the product. Therefore, remove
the rechargeable battery when the spotlight is
not required longer periods of time.
WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES! If
they come into contact with skin,
leaked or damaged rechargeable
batteries could cause chemical burns; you
should therefore wear suitable protective
gloves at all times if such an event occurs.
Only use rechargeable batteries of the right
size and of the recommended type (see section
”Technical data”).
Functioning
When exposed to sunlight, the solar cell
13
converts
the light into electrical energy and via the connected
solar electricity socket
11
, stores the electricity in
the built-in rechargeable battery
20
. With a fully
charged rechargeable battery, the lighting duration
is about 2 hours. Before being used for the first
time, the rechargeable battery must be fully loaded
(see section “Charging the rechargeable battery”).
Charging the
rechargeable battery
Upon delivery, the rechargeable battery
20
is fully
charged. Due to storage times, the rechargeable
battery may be partially discharged when first
used. Therefore, charge the rechargeable battery
completely before first use. You may select between
2 available options for charging:
Charging the rechargeable battery
with a charging device (external power
supply unit)
Slide the AUTO / OFF switch
4
into the OFF
position.
Insert the plug of the charging device (not included
with delivery) into the low voltage socket
1
of
the main station. The technical data of the
charging device must comply with information
given in the section “Technical data”.
Note: During the charging process, the solar
cell
13
must not be connected with the main
station
3
.
Note: The signal LED
19
next to the charging
socket lights red for as long as the charging is
in process. The signal LED lights green as soon
as the charging process has ended. The recharge-
able battery is now ready for use.
Note: Depending on the charge state of the
battery, the charging process may take up to
24 hours. The built-in charging controller of the
spotlight prevents the rechargeable battery
from overload.
