Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on automatically at dusk.
Ensure the solar panel is receiving sufficient direct sunlight for charging. Check that the lights are switched to the 'On' position. Clean the solar panel surface. Test in a location with guaranteed sunlight.

The solar panel may not be charging sufficiently. Ensure it is clean and exposed to direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Obstructions like leaves or snow can prevent charging.
Flashing function is erratic or does not work.
Ensure the battery has a sufficient charge. Try switching the lights off for a full day to allow a complete recharge, then test the flashing mode again. Check the mode switch for any damage.
Solar panel is damaged.
Inspect the solar panel for visible cracks or damage. If damaged, the unit may need to be replaced. Contact customer support if within warranty.
