TOOLS REQUIRED
HARDWARE INCLUDED
Installation
NOTE: The solar light is equipped with a photosensor that turns the unit
on at dusk and off at dawn. Ambient light can affect the operation of the
photosensor.
IMPORTANT: Prior to use, set the ON/OFF switch located on the back plate
of the solar light to the ON position and allow it to charge for a full sunny
day.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the mounting location for your solar light allows the
solar panel to receive direct sunlight. Donot locate the product in shaded
areas as this will significantly reduce performance.
1 .WOOD POST/FENCE MOUNTING
□ To mount the solar light to a wood post or fence, use the template (CC) to
mark the mounting screw locations. Alternatively, measure and mark the
installation locations for the mounting screws 3.86 in. (98 mm) on-center.
□ Insert the mounting screws (AA) into the wood post or fence at the marked
locations, leaving about 1/4 in. of the screws (AA) sticking out of the wood
surface.
□ Align and place the two mounting holes on the back plate of the solar light
over the mounting screws (AA).
2. WALL MOUNTING
□ To mount the solar light to a concrete or brick wall, use the template (CC)
to mark the mounting screw locations. Alternatively, measure and mark the
installation locations for the mounting screws 3.86 in. (98 mm) on-center.
□ Drill two holes on the wall at the marked locations.
□ Insert the plastic anchors (BB) into the holes. Insert the mounting screws
(AA) into the anchors (BB), leaving about 1/4 in. of the screws (AA) sticking
out of the wall surface.
□ Align and place the two mounting holes on the back plate of the solar light
over the mounting screws (AA).
Synchronizing, Turning ON, and Testing the Deck Lights
The Device Address switch(1) has 5 switches, which can be adjusted by flipping
up or down to adjust the state of each switch, the 5 switch combinations have
a total of 32 states, and can be interconnected when the frequency modulation
switches of 2 or more lights are in the same state (that is, when one of the
lights detects motion, the rest of the lights will also be on). When all 5
switches are turned down, the lights will not enter the interconnection state.
To turn the lights ON, set the Power switches (2) to the ON position.
When turned ON, the lights will begin a 30-60 second TEST mode, where they
will light-up for 5 seconds when motion is detected (regardless of time of
day). After 30 to 60 seconds, the lights will enter normal operation and only
light-up when motion is detected.
In normal operation, when motion is detected, the lights will activate
simultaneously, and stay on for 30 seconds.

The nightly run time is shorter. | The batteries are not fully charged. | Ensure |
the solar light is located in an area where it can receive the maximum amount
of full, direct sunlight every day. Keeping the solar panel clean is equally
important to ensure the maximum charging performance.
The batteries are reaching the end of their useful life.| Replace the old
batteries with Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries.
The solar light does not tum on at night| Your solar light is equipped with an
ON/OFF switch on the back plate of the light. This switch must be set to ON
prior to use.| Prior to use, check that the unit has been set to the ON
