- Check that the secondary light flashes quickly. If not, please power off then back on, and press the “Link Button” once again
- Check that the distance between the primary light & the secondary light is no more than 50-ft apart, and that there are no obstacles in between. Connectivity can be up to 50-ft between each light

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- If installing more than 1 light, and you would like to use the inkable function, you must link your lights first before installation and mounting You may link up to 20 lights. After the lights are linked you may begin the installation process.
- Plan to mount your motion light in a position that allows for the most direct sunlight in order to charge the internal battery most efficiently Be aware of objects such as trees or property overhangs that may block the solar panel’s exposure to sunlight.
- Prior to installing the light, initial charge is needed and should be done in the OFF position for at least 1 to 3 days in direct sunlight. Afterward, the included rechargeable battery will be charged sufficiently for operation. Before mounting place the light in the ON position
- The light illuminates automatically at dusk using an energy-saving mode of 15 lumens of low brightness. When motion is detected, the light illuminates at full brightness 800 lumens for approximately 30 seconds. When movement detection ceases, the light will revert back to the low brightness energy-saving mode
- A rapidly flashing light means the battery is undercharged. It is best to tum the light’s switch to the OFF position and charges for 1 to 3 days insufficient sunlight to bring the battery to full charge. Afterward, turn the switch back to the ON position
- The motion sensor is very light-sensitive. For best performance at night, ensure there is no interfering light preventing the sensor from working correctly
- Each light requires the use of (1) 3.7V 2000 mAh 18650 Lithium-ion rechargeable battery included
LINKABLE SET-UP
- NOTE: This function is for linking 2 or more lights together.
- The “ON” switch and the “Link Button” are located on the back. Make sure every single light is switched to the “ON” position. Warm-up time is approx. 15 seconds.
- Select one light as the primary, while the other light/s will be the secondary.
- Signal Matching
- After 15 seconds in the “ON” position, press and hold the “Link Button” on the primary light for 3 – 5 seconds. The light will then flash slowly (1-time per second).
- Press the “Link Button” once on the secondary light. When the secondary light flashes quickly (2 time per second) then turns off, It means they are linked together successfully.
- Repeat step B until all secondary lights are linked. When all lights are successfully connected, press the primary light’s “Link Button”once to cease linking
- When linked, all lights will illuminate to full brightness when any single one of them detects motion. After 30 seconds of no motion detection, the lights will return back to the low-level dusk-to-dawn brightness
- To remove the linkable function, press the “Link Button” twice on each light you choose to disconnect The light will illuminate for 2 seconds and then tum off

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
- Cut out the mounting template and place it in the desired position. Place a level on the template line to ensure accuracy. Mark the screw holes location indicated by the X symbols. Use a power drill to pre-drill holes into the chosen surface. If mounting on brick, hard siding, or another masonry surface, use a 1/4-in drill bit to pre-drill holes for the screw anchors.
- Secure each light onto the surface with the 2 screws (AA), and if needed, the 2 screw anchors (BB).
- Installation complete
MOUNTING BRACKET TEMPLATE
- Cut out the mounting template and place it in the desired position. Place a level on the template line to ensure accuracy.
- Mark the screw holes location indicated by the X symbols
- Depending on your mounting surface and material, and whether the screw anchors are needed, drill holes using a power drill and a 1/4-in drill bit in your marked location
IMPORTANT LINKABLE SET-UP INFORMATION
- Do not press the “Link Button” on the primary & secondary lights at the same time.
- Wirelessly link together up to 20 lights with each one being up to 50-ft. apart. Ensure there are no obstacles in between
- If creating more than one group of paired lights, there will be only one primary light in each group
NOTES / RECOMMENDED INSTALL HEIGHT
- The ideal height is 5 Ft. – 8 Ft. from the ground. At such a height, the fixture will provide a detection distance of up to 25 feet. Ideal ambient temperature is 77 degrees Fahrenheit with a relative humidity between 30%-80%.
- The fixture provides approximately 1500 sq. fl. coverage area
- The motion sensor is the most sensitive as a person or object moves parallel to the sensor head.
- The motion sensor is the least sensitive if a person or object moves directly at the sensor head
- Do not mount the fixture near a heat source like an air conditioner vent, or furnace exhaust, or in a direction facing a reflective object or nearby light source.
- The sensor cannot be placed less than 5 Ft. from any reflective material. If the light flashes, the sensor is too close to such a material. If this happens, move the light fixture
BATTERY REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
