• The human activity sensor may:

- mistakenly detect an object with heat source & movement similar to human, such as

pets, etc.

- mistakenly detect as non-heat source & movement if a human stays motionless for

certain period of time.

• Do not place large objects near the sensor and keep away heating units or humidiﬁ er from the sensor’s detection area. They may cause sensor malfunction.
