Key components: High-efficiency LED array, Integrated Solar Panel, PIR Motion Sensor, Rechargeable Battery Pack, Mounting Bracket, and Manual/Auto/Test Mode Switch.

Safety Information

Read all instructions before installation and use.

1. Electrical Safety: This is a solar-powered device. No direct electrical wiring is required. Ensure the unit is completely off during installation.
2. Installation Location: Install only in a location with direct sunlight for optimal charging. Do not install near heat sources or flammable materials.
3. Handling: Do not disassemble the unit. Avoid touching the solar panel surface with bare hands.
4. Battery: The built-in battery is not user-replaceable. Do not attempt to open the battery compartment.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury or product damage, install securely according to instructions. Keep away from children.

Installation

Unpack and inspect all contents. Choose a location with maximum daily sunlight.

1. Mounting: Use the provided mounting bracket and hardware. Secure the bracket to a wall, post, or eave using appropriate screws (not included for all surfaces). Ensure it is firm and level.
2. Attach Light: Slide the light unit onto the mounted bracket and tighten the adjustment knob to secure it.
3. Adjust Angles: Adjust the solar panel to face true south (Northern Hemisphere) for maximum sun exposure. Adjust the light head and motion sensor to cover the desired area.
4. Initial Charge: Before first use, expose the solar panel to direct sunlight for 8-12 hours to fully charge the battery.

CAUTION! Do not install where the motion sensor can be triggered by moving objects like tree branches or passing vehicles, to avoid false activation.

First-Time Setup & Operation

After installation and initial charge, configure the settings.

1. Power On: Locate the mode switch (often inside a weatherproof cover). Set to "TEST" mode to verify light and sensor function.
2. Sensor Adjustment: Use the sensitivity and range dials (if available) to set the desired detection zone.
3. Set Mode: Switch to "AUTO" for normal motion-activated operation. The dusk-to-dawn sensor will automatically enable the system at night.
4. Set Timer: Use the timer switch to select how long the light stays on after motion is no longer detected (e.g., 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes).
5. Manual Mode: Setting the switch to "MANUAL" will turn the light on continuously until switched back to AUTO or OFF.

Tip: Perform initial setup during daylight hours for easier adjustment.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity.

1. Cleaning Solar Panel: Wipe the solar panel gently with a soft, damp cloth every few months to remove dust, dirt, snow, or bird droppings. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
2. Cleaning Light Lens: Clean the LED lens cover with a soft cloth to maintain light output.
3. Inspection: Periodically check the mounting hardware to ensure it remains tight and secure.
4. Winter Care: Remove heavy snow accumulation from the solar panel promptly.

CAUTION! Do not use pressurized water, chemicals, or solvents for cleaning. Ensure the unit is not active (set to OFF) during cleaning.
