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).

3. Loosen the clamp screw in the sensor ball joint.

4.Walk through the coverage area noting when the lights turn on. Gently move the sensor head up, down, or sideways to change the coverage area. Note: Wait 5 to 10 seconds after light turns off to retest.

5.Increase RANGE only as needed. A larger RANGE setting may cause false triggering and reduce battery life.
6.Secure the sensor into position by tightening the clamp screw. Do not overtighten the screw.
7.After dark, loosen the light joint clamps and adjust the light to cover desired area. Tighten joint clamps when desired area is covered.
Adjustment of Coverage Area
The 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 | • | |
• | 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: The 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 16 hours of sunlight charging. Solar panels collect less than 10% of the sun’s energy.
•Several days of use with overcast skies may discharge the battery.Because of the battery protection circuit, the light will not work until the battery is fully recharged.
•This light is supplied with three permanent LED lamps. The LED’s are rated to provide a minimum of 40,000 hours of light output and do not need to be replaced.
