STEP 1
Be sure the 'Firefly' Cluster Plug(s) are firmly pressed all the way into
the jacks on the bottom side of the Solar Panel assembly. If the plugs
are completely in, just twist them back and forth a few times to help the
electrical connection.
STEP 2
Be sure the ON-OFF Switch located on the bottom side of the Solar Panel
assembly is set to the ON position. When new, sometimes it take sliding
the switch back and forth a few times between the ON and OFF positions
to get the contacts aligned.
STEP 3
Sometimes, during shipping, the batteries move inside the battery compartment.
To be sure the contacts are good, open the battery compartment door,
then press the batteries into position. Next, while leaving them in
place, just spin each battery a couple times to be sure the battery
ends are making good connection with the terminals inside the battery
compartment.
STEP 4
Be sure the batteries are correctly installed with the positive terminal
(+) toward the small metal square - NOT THE SPRING.
Also, be sure that the spring is pressed straight against the Negative
STEP 5
If you have just setup your 'Fireflies' for the first time, it's possible
the rechargeable batteries are not fully charged. To be sure the unit
is working properly, install two standard AA alkaline batteries, then
turn the ON-OFF switch to the ON position while watching the 'Fireflies'.
If all the 'Fireflies' light up and then flicker and fade off, the
unit is working correctly.
Reinstall the rechargeable batteries, and place
the Solar Panel Assembly in a outdoor location
where it will receive direct sunlight for at least
1 full day. Be sure the ON - OFF switch is set
to the OFF position which allows ALL the electricity
from the solar panel to go into the rechargeable
batteries.
STEP 6
If the 'Fireflies' still don't light when the two new standard AA Alkaline
batteries are installed and the switch is in the ON position, please
carefully recheck the above steps #1-3. If they still do not work,
see ADDITIONAL HELP and SUPPORT Section below. |
