Operation Instructions (Fig. 2)
1. Detach the top of the lamp unit (E) by releasing the 2 screws.
2. Turn the operation switch to the ON (|) position. Light will turn on automatically at
dusk and will be brighter when motion is detected. The Light duration when Motion
sensor is activated is about 45 Seconds and then returns to a normal mode.
3. Make sure when re-attaching the top that the external wire is plugged into the
motion sensor. There will be an arrow on the plug and the side with that arrow
should be facing up. There are also color codes imprinted on the surface where the
plug is that will instruct which color wire is to be on that side of the plug. This must
be followed to avoid the plug being inserted upside down which would cause the
lamp not to function.
4. Reattach the top part (E) by securing with the 2
screws.

Trouble Shooting
If your solar charged light does not come on at dusk despite observance of all the instructions,
please try the following steps:
1. Make sure that the solar panel is not being affected by any other light source.
2. Ensure the solar panel is not positioned in the shade during the day.
3. Make sure the switch in the lamp head is the On () position.
4. Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
NOTE: The performance of the solar lamp will vary with the time of year. It will deliver more
light when it has had a full day in the sun rather than a day in overcast weather.
WINTERTIME TIPS: For optimal performance, be sure to remove any snow or debris
accumulation from solar panel. A solar panel free of debris will charge the batteries much more
efficiently.
WARNING: Please keep out of reach of children.
