3. OVERVIEW

The Chameleon

™

solar gazing ball is a lighted solar

garden accent. The pedestal is made from a ﬁberglass/resin

composite. The gazing ball itself is made from a special

crackled glass, is illuminated by LEDs, and the panel absorbs

sunlight and converts it to usable energy that is stored in

the rechargeable Ni-Mh batteries found on the inside of the

gazing ball. The illumination comes from multi-color & white

LED. The unit will automatically go on in the evening and

go off at daylight or when the battery pack is exhausted.

In order for your unit to operate at maximum efﬁciency it is

important to place it in direct sunlight. The performance of

your unit will depend on the charging of the batteries by the

solar panel and will be affected by location and the season

position of the sun.

1. Carefully unpack the product from the box paying special

attention not to drop the glass gazing ball on any hard surface

since it will break if dropped.

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The glass gazing ball should be cleaned with a soft cloth and

water or a mild glass cleaning solution.

Changing of the batteries:

This product is powered by 2 AAA Ni-Mh 600 mAh

rechargeable batteries. Under normal use, the batteries should

last approximately 2 years. It is time to replace the batteries

when the gazing globe operates for only a few hours or

becomes dim despite a full day of charging in bright sun.

To replace the batteries simply remove the screws from the

underside of the gazing ball. Carefully remove the cover (See

Figure 3). Remove the old batteries and replace with new AAA

Ni-Mh 600 mAh batteries. Pay attention to orient the batteries

with the “+’ and “-“ poles in the correct position (See Figure 4).

Replace the top cover by re-fastening all the screws.

Please note: Used batteries must be disposed of carefully

with regard to the environment and should not be put into

the family waste. Please follow your local disposal laws

accordingly.
