Heath Zenith SL-7001 manual Specifications, Troubleshooting Guide, Things To Remember

THINGS TO REMEMBER:

•Periodically clean the solar panel with a soft cloth and warm water. Do not hose spray. Keep the collector clear of snow and leaves. Make sure trees and other objects do not block sunlight from the panel.

•If not to be used for several weeks, turn the unit OFF. Store it with the panel connected and where the panel can gather sunlight.

•Solar collection is only effective in direct sunlight. Every hour the light is on requires a minimum of 16 hours of sunlight charging. Solar panels collect less than 10% of the sun’s energy. Light bulbs convert this energy to light at 5% efficiency.

•Several days of use with overcast skies may dis- charge the battery. Because of the battery protection circuit, the light will not work until the battery is fully recharged.

•This light is supplied with a 15 watt bulb. Using a larger bulb will decrease battery life.
