Before installing the lights into the ground, locate the 'on/off' switch, which is typically found under the light head or on the side of the solar panel unit. Move the switch to the 'ON' position. Some new solar lights may also have a plastic pull-tab that needs to be removed from the battery compartment to activate the battery for the first time. After activation, place the assembled lights in a location that receives direct sunlight for their initial charge, usually a full day (6-8 hours) is recommended to ensure the battery is sufficiently powered for its first night of operation.
