3. Usage in Accordance with Requirements
The light is automatically switched on at darkness and switched off at morning light.
Depending on the charging condition of the rechargeable batteries, the luminosity
may decrease after a certain operating time. This enables a longer operating time in
case of bad insolation.
The maximum duration of illumination with full (rechargeable) battery and without
recharge is approx. 20 hours. The crystalline solar module installed in the upper part
of the housing charges the inserted batteries at sunlight. The installed LEDs are acti-
vated at dawn and will be illuminated according to the charging condition of the bat-
tery.
Up to 3-figure numbers or letters may be stuck on the luminous surface on the front
side.
Note: Please make sure that the solar light is installed on a shadow-free south-, east-
or west side. The product cannot be used if installed on north sides, under bushes or
similar. In winter, the solar cell shall always be free of snow.
4. Initiation
1. Please carefully take all parts out of the package.
2. Stick your house number on the luminous surface by means of the attached figu-
re sheets.
3. Now open the battery compartment on the back side of the housing and pull out
the strip. The battery compartment may now be closed again.
The house number is now activated!
4. It may now be mounted on the wall via the slots on the back side of the house
number.
Note: During the winter months the duration of illumination will generally be shorter.
If the lamp should not yet start working on the first evening, please wait for a sunny
day or recharge the inserted accumulators by means of a standard battery charger.
5. Exchange of Accumulator
The capacity of the batteries will diminish after one to two years and they will have to
be exchanged. The ordinary rechargeable batteries are available at your local retai-
l
er or from the manufacturer. The battery type used is the following: 3 pieces of
M
ignon NiMh 1.2 V/ 1300 mAh.
1. Open the accumulator compartment on the back
side of your house number light.

Rechargeable battery notes
- Rechargeable batteries should not be played with by children. Never leave rechar-
geable batteries lying around; they could be swallowed by children or pets.
- Rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into
fire. This leads to a danger of explosion!
- Leaking or damaged rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns when they
come into contact with skin. For this reason, please make use of suitable protecti-
ve gloves.
- Rechargeable batteries should only be replaced by structurally identical recharge-
able batteries from the same manufacturer. Normal batteries must not be used
since these are not rechargeable.
- Make sure the rechargeable batteries are inserted with the correct polarity.
- For long periods of time of non-use (for example, storage), remove the inserted
rechargeable batteries to avoid damages via the leaking rechargeable batteries.
