rechargeable batteries and / or open them.
Overheating, fire or bursting can be the result.
Never throw batteries / rechargeable batteries
into fire or water.
Do not exert mechanical loads to batteries /
rechargeable batteries.
Risk of leakage of batteries / rechargeable
batteries
Avoid extreme environmental conditions and
temperatures, which could affect batteries /
rechargeable batteries, e.g. radiators / direct
sunlight.
If batteries / rechargeable batteries have
leaked, avoid contact with skin, eyes and
mucous membranes with the chemicals! Flush
immediately the affected areas with fresh water
and seek medical attention!

Functioning
The solar cell installed in the product converts sun-
light into electrical energy and stores it in 1 Ni-MH
rechargeable battery. Switch on the product with
the ON / OFF switch

cally light on as it begins to get dark. The in-built LED
is a very long-life and energy-saving light source. The
light duration depends on the amount of sunlight, the
angle of light on the solar cell and the temperature
(the rechargeable battery capacity is temperature-
dependent). A vertical angle of light at temperatures
above the freezing point is ideal. The rechargeable
battery
does not achieve maximum capacity un-
