ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

HOW YOUR HOME SECURITY MOTION

ACTIVATED LIGHTING SYSTEM WORKS

The Home Security Motion Activated Lighting
System is designed to turn on automatically at
night when a person enters the detection
zone. The light will stay on as long as the
motion detector senses motion in the zone.
The light will turn off in approximately 90 sec­onds after the person leaves the detection
zone or stops moving.

During the day, the solar panel converts sun­light into electricity and recharges the battery
in the main housing. At night, the light turns
on automatically when it detects motion using
the electricity stored during that day.

The number of activations per night are
dependent on your geographical location,
weather conditions and seasonal lighting
availability.

NOTE: Solar security lights do not receive as

much direct sunlight in winter
months. Therefore, the number of
activations per night will be reduced
during winter.

IMPORTANT: BEFORE FIRST USE
After installing the main housing and solar
panel module, leave the switch in the
“OFF” position and charge in full, direct
sunlight for THREE FULL DAYS. Then
remove the switch label and slide the switch
to the “AUTO” position. The light will turn
on automatically at night when it detects
motion.

Step 1

Select a location and attach the main
housing where you want to detect per­sons or objects moving at night. Ideal
places are patios, side doors, garages and
pool area. Mount the main housing 6 to 8
feet above ground on a solid surface for
best motion detection and light distribu­tion.

NOTE: Do not place the main housing in

high traffic areas. Doing so will dis­charge the battery quickly and unit
will shut down until it is recharged by
the sun. Aim the motion detector
away from streets, busy walk areas,
trees and bushes.

Step 2

To attach the main housing, use the
mounting template in this manual to
install the two main housing mounting
screws. The screw heads must stand out

from the surface by about 5/32". This is
about the thickness of two quarters or

two nickels.

Step 3

Slide the two slots in the back of main
housing onto the screws.

Step 4

Select a location within 15 feet from the
main housing to mount the solar panel
module. The solar panel module must be
mounted where it will receive full, direct
sunlight for several hours each day.

Step 5

Firmly plug the solar panel module cord
into the main housing.

Step 6

Mount the solar panel module in a sunny
location where it will receive full, direct
sunlight for several hours each day.

NOTE: Shaded areas will not allow the solar

panel to fully charge the battery. This
will drastically reduce the number of
activations per night.

Step 7

Aim the solar panel toward the south, fac­ing upward at about 45° angle. The
adjustable base allows mounting on most
vertical, horizontal or sloping surface
such as a wall, post or roof. Excess cord
can be tucked under the base securely.
