Product specific safety notices

Do not subject the Outdoor Thermometer to extreme temperatures (< -25 °C / > +50 °C), heavy vibrations or strong mechanical stresses. Ensure that the solar cell does not become dirty and is not covered with snow or ice in the winter. This reduces the performance capability of the solar cell.

Cold temperatures have a negative influence on the battery operating period. If you do not need the Outdoor Thermometer for an extended period, e.g. in the winter, it should be switched off, cleaned and stored in a dry and warm area. Remove the batteries to avoid damage to the batteries themselves or to the solar housing.

mWarning! Never open the solar housing. Arrange for repair or component exchange work to be carried out only by the Service Centre or qualified electricians.

mWarning! The batteries may not be short- circuited. Overheating, fire risks or the explod- ing of the batteries could be the consequence.

mWarning! Risk of explosion! Never throw batteries into water or a fire.

Chemical fluids may leak from batteries that are very old or exhausted, and these fluids could damage the appliance. You should therefore remove the batteries if you do not require the Outdoor Thermometer for an extended period. Wear protective gloves:

Leaking or damaged batteries can cause acid burns if they come into contact

with bare skin, thus in these cases you should always wear suitable protective gloves.

Use only batterries of the correct size and of the correct type.

Tip: Ensure that when the Outdoor Thermometer is removed the support tube and the earth spike are also removed, to avoid any possible danger that they may cause (e.g. stumbling ).

Assembly / Location selection

To obtain the optimal results, place the Outdoor Thermometer in a location at which the solar cell is subject to the maximum amount of direct sunlight. Do not place the Outdoor Thermometer under

bushes, trees, overhangs etc which could reduce the total amount of sunlight received.

Ensure that the solar cell Q and the photo sensor W cannot be covered or come into shade.

Ensure that the solar cell Q is not influenced by other light sources, e.g. house or street illu- mination. If it is, the lamp will not switch on at twilight.

During the assembly and the placing of the ap- pliance do not use force, e.g. hammer blows - these damage the product.

Screw the temperature tube O onto the sup- port tube E.

Insert the earth spike R into the support tube E.

Put the earth spike R, on which the thermom- eter tube O and the support tube E are now placed, into the ground (lawn, flower-bed, etc).

Ensure it is standing securely.

Rotate the solar housing P carefully in a clock- wise direction onto the thermometer tube O. Remove the protective foil from the solar cell Q should one be placed over it.

Switching the illumination on and off

The solar housing P requires ca. 2-3 sunny days to fully charge Y the batteries. Initially, you should thus leave the solar lamp switched off for 2-3 days (Switch position "OFF").

Remove the solar housing P by carefully ro- tating it anti-clockwise from the thermometer tube O.

On the underside of the solar housing P place the AUTO / OFF swich I to:

AUTO: The solar lamp is switched on. As the daylight reduces, the lamp switches on auto- matically.
