safety information

• Your motion light is not a toy. Keep it out of reach from small children.
• Your motion light and solar panel are both weather-resistant.
• You can mount your motion light indoors, but your solar panel must be installed outdoors to receive light from the sun.
• If using a step ladder, you may require a second person to help install the solar motion light.
• Prior to installation, layout all components and check against the part list section in this manual.
• Never look directly into the solar motion light when illuminated.

Battery replacement instructions

When replacing the batteries, be sure to:

• Use rechargeable batteries only.
• Match the replacement battery specifications with the batteries that have been removed.
• Observe the correct polarity (+ and -) when installing the replacement batteries.
• Replace the whole set of batteries at one time. Do not combine old and new batteries together or those with different specifications.

care & maintenance

• From time to time, ensure the plug between the solar panel and light is securely connected.
• It is advisable to adjust the angle of the solar panel to optimize the exposure to the sun during the winter months.
• The solar panel should be cleaned with a damp cotton cloth on a regular basis. This will ensure optimal performance and battery charging. Periodically, utilize the same technique to clean the lenses of the motion lights.
• Never let any abrasive material come into contact with the solar panel.

2. Mark the screw hole locations ( X ) using a pencil or drill.
3. Drill holes in the marked locations.

installation

1. Ensure your solar panel is placed so that its exposure to the sun is optimized. Be aware of objects such as trees or property overhangs that may impede the panel’s ability to
   generate a charge.

2. Optional: Use a power drill (not included) to create the holes on your chosen mounting surface.
   Use 4 of the included wall plugs and screws to fasten the solar panel to the surface.
   

3. Place the mounting bracket template (refer to the template shown below or use provided insert) over the desired mounting surface.
   Mark the screw hole locations indicated by the × symbol.
   Use a power drill (not included) to drill the holes on your chosen mounting surface.
   

4. Insert the two remaining screws and wall plugs into the surface, leaving 3.2 mm (1/8 in) of space between the screw heads and the wall. Place the motion light’s mounting bracket onto the screw heads (1).
   

5. Lock the bracket into place by shifting it horizontally (2).

frequently asked questions

1. Where should the solar panel be mounted?
   • Mount your solar panel in a position that will enable the most amount of light to be absorbed (refer to Step 1 on page 2). In the Northern Hemisphere this is usually south facing.

2. Does the solar panel require the direct sun to charge?
   • The solar panel can charge the internal batteries in direct and indirect light. For best results, try to optimize your solar panel’s sun exposure.

3. Can additional or extended cable wire for the solar panel be purchased?
   • At this point there are no extensions available for the cable that connects the light to the solar panel. Any additions to the cable will void the warranty

4. Why does the solar motion light appear to “strobe” or flash?
   • A rapidly flashing light is caused by undercharged batteries. Turn the solar motion light to the “OFF” position and charge for two full sunny days to bring the batteries to full charge.

5. Will decorative or street lights have an effect on the motion sensor’s ability to operate?
   • Yes, the sensor of the solar motion light is light-sensitive. For nighttime usage, ensure no other light activates the motion sensor.

6. What type of battery does my solar motion light require to operate?
   • Your solar motion light requires the use of 3 AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
