Select a location with FULL, DIRECT  
SUNLIGHT. Shady locations will not allow  
the battery to charge fully and will reduce  
the hours of nighttime light.  
NOTE:  
The rechargeable Ni-Cd  
battery must be allowed to  
fully charge to operate  
properly. Partially charging  
the battery on a consistent  
basis will drastically reduce  
the life of the battery.  
The selected location should not be near a  
nighttime light source such as a porch  
light or street light, as these might keep  
the solar lights from automatically turning  
on. The solar lights should not be placed  
closer than 5 feet from one another. This  
could cause the solar lights to flicker from  
the adjacent light source.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SOLAR LIGHT.  
SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.  
Assembly  
Step 1  
Attach the ground stake to a pointed  
connector. Push approximately 3" of the  
ground stake into the ground.  
NOTE: Ground can be softened by soaking  
area with water first.  
Step 2  
Insert light head into ground stake. The  
photocell light sensor should point  
away from other nighttime light  
sources.  
Step 3  
For optimum performance, it is best to  
charge the solar light for a FULL,  
SUNNY DAY. The light will turn on  
automatically at night. The Ni-Cd  
rechargeable battery provides increased  
brightness and stays on longer as it  
cycles over time (days and nights of  
charging and discharging). The more  
direct sunlight that the light receives  
during the day, the brighter and longer  
the light will stay on at night.

Cleaning  
It is important that the solar panel is kept  
free of dirt and debris. A dirty solar panel  
will not allow the battery to fully charge.  
This will shorten the life of the battery and  
cause the light to malfunction. Clean  
regularly with a dampened cloth or paper  
towel.

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:  
Storage Tips  
Store at room temperature in a dry location.  
Store solar light where it can receive some sunlight or room light each day.  
The battery 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 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:  
Troubleshooting  
Information  
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.  
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.  
c. Check and replace the battery 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.

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.  
Troubleshooting  
Information  
(Continued)  
Dirty solar panel: A dirty solar panel will not allow the battery to fully  
charge. This will shorten the life of the battery 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 battery needs  
recharging.  
Clean snow and debris off the solar panel to allow battery to recharge.  
Wintertime  
Tips  
Check and replace battery periodically throughout the year, especially  
after winter months.
