Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: identify the desired location, ensure the soil is soft enough to accept the stake, and push the stake firmly into the ground. Before the first use, leave the units in a sunny position for at least 8 hours in the 'on' position to charge the battery. To maintain performance, clean the solar panel surface periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris, which can impede solar absorption. Ensure the unit is not placed near other strong light sources at night, as this may trigger the sensors to remain off.
