INSTALLATION
For best performance, mount the fixture about 8
feet (2.4 m) above the ground.
Note: Mounting fixture higher than 8 ft. (2.4 m)
will reduce coverage distance.
1. Mount solar panel base on a solid surface using
three tapered screws. Adjust the panel to point
directly at the noon sun. Avoid obstructions
such as trees or buildings that may block sun
light. Allow for enough wire to reach the case.
Keep ball joint at bottom.
Note: You will want to re-aim the solar panel as
the seasons change to keep it pointed directly
at the noon sun.

2. Mounting light on a solid, vertical surface
(wall) using two round-head screws.
• Determine mounting location. IMPORTANT:
Mount fixture with the light above the sensor.
• Open battery compartment door and
remove batteries and
tab. Note: Discard
plastic tab.
• Drill one 1/16" pilot hole for keyhole
mounting screw and
insert screw. Note:
Leave approximately
1/8" (3 mm) of the
screw threads exposed.
• Using the keyhole
on the back of the
light, temporarily
hang light fixture on
screw.

5. Install 3 Ni-Cd rechargeable AA batteries
(included) into battery compartment according
to markings.
Note: Rechargeable batteries will

When this happens, replace with Ni-Cd or
Ni-MH rechargeable AA batteries available
at most stores.
NOTICE: When replacing rechargeable batteries, recycle used batteries or dispose of them
in accordance with local regulations.

TEST AND ADJUSTMENT
Note: Sensor has a 30 second warm up period
before it will detect motion. When switching
modes wait 30 seconds.
1. Slide the sensor switch to the TEST position.
2. Place the RANGE adjustment in the medium
position (halfway between MIN and MAX
position).

4. Replace battery compartment door.
5. After dark, adjust the light to cover desired
area.
Adjustment of Coverage Area
e sensor detects “motion” by the movement of
heat (body heat) across the coverage area. However,
following are examples of objects that also produce
heat and can cause the sensor to false trigger:
• Pools of Water • Air Conditioners
• Dryer Vents • Fenced-In Animals
• Heating Vents • Automobile Traffic
If you suspect that a heat source of this type is falsely
triggering the sensor, try reducing the RANGE
or aiming the sensor away from the heat source
in question.
Note: e detector is less sensitive to motion directly
towards it and more sensitive to across motion.

OPERATION
Place the sensor switch in the 1 or 5 minute mode
for normal operation. If the light is not needed, put
the switch in the OFF position.

THINGS TO REMEMBER
• Periodically clean the solar panel with a soft cloth
and warm water. Do not hose spray. Keep the collector clear of snow and leaves. Make sure trees
and other objects do not block sunlight from the
panel.
• If not to be used for several weeks, turn the unit
OFF. Store it with the panel connected and where
the panel can gather sunlight.
• Solar collection is only effective in direct sunlight.
Every hour the light is on requires a minimum of
8 hours of sunlight charging.
• Several days of use with overcast skies may discharge the batteries. e light will not work until
the batteries are recharged.
