PLANNING INSTALLATION
For the best result, locate the solar panel in a position where it
receives direct sunlight and is generally free from cover and shade.
Be aware and consider foliage and building overhangs, which will
affect the solar panel’s ability to charge.
NOTE: Face the solar panel due south for maximum sun exposure.
Select an area where the Motion Light and Solar Panel can be
mounted with ease. Consider that the units must be within 15 feet
(the length of the power cable from the Solar Panel) to be connected.

CHARGING AND REPLACING THE BATTERY
Before Use
Before the LED Solar Motion Light can operate to its full capacity,
the solar panel needs to be in sunlight for 3 days to fully charge the
included battery. Charge the unit in the “OFF” position.
Once Charged
The Motion Light will charge automatically everyday, as long as the
Solar Panel is exposed to direct sunlight. Insure that there are no
obstructions that place the Solar Panel in a shaded area.
On days that have reduced sunlight, or in some geographical areas
that do not have regular sunlight exposure, the battery may take longer
to charge, or may not charge at all. Contact a Customer Service
Representative, or review the Troubleshooting section if the Motion
Light is not powered.
Replacing the Battery
Insure that the battery is not charging before replacing the battery
pack. The battery pack is located in back of the light’s battery housing.
□
1. Turn the switch to the “OFF” position. Remove the four screws
from the battery housing.

12
2. Separate the battery pack connector. Remove the old battery pack
and replace it with a new identical rechargeable battery pack.
3. Replace the cover of the battery housing and secure it with the
four screws.
NOTE: Please contact Novolink for battery replacement information.

OPERATION
OFF/AUTO Switch: Light will turn on when motion is detected
at nighttime only. If the battery has limited power, the unit will
automatically go into ECO mode, where in the light will reduce
brightness in order to conserve battery power.
Adjustable features:
• Time Delay (TIME): Adjusts the amount of time the light will stay on
after triggering, from 1 minute up to 15 minutes
• Sensitivity (SENS): Adjusts the sensitivity of the motion sensor. Low,
Medium and High settings.
• LUX: Combensates for ambient light sources that may affect proper
operation of the unit, especially the Dusk-to-Dawn feature.
When the unit is activated for the first time, it will light up for
one minute. The light will illuminate if any motion is detected
in the following 2 minutes, regardless of time of day.

MAINTENANCE, CLEANING AND CARE
• Periodically check the connection from the solar panel to the light.
Ensure this plug is correctly inserted.
• Some seasonal adjustment of the solar panel may be required to
offset shorter charge days during the winter.
• Ensure the solar panel is free from any obstruction such as trees
or buildings.
• The solar panel should be cleaned on a regular basis. This will
ensure the LED Solar Motion light charges consistently.
• To clean the solar panel, use a damp cotton cloth. Never use any
abrasive materials or cleaning products.
• The lens of the LED light should also be cleaned with a damp
cotton cloth. This ensures a clear illumination.

Problem Solution
Where should the solar panel be
mounted?
Mount the solar panel in a position that will
enable the maximum amount of light to be
absorbed. In the Northern Hemi- sphere this is
usually south facing.
Does the solar panel require direct sun to
charge?
The solar panel can charge the internal battery
in direct and indirect light. For best results,
place the panel in direct light to maximize and
increase efficiency.
Can additional or extended cable wire
for the LED Solar Motion Light 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.
Why does the LED Solar Motion Light not
illuminate at night?
Log into the App and check the battery status
of the unit. If the battery is low, then allow it to
fully charge before using the light. If the battery
is charged, adjust the LUX in the light’s Settings
menu.
Where can a new battery for the LED
Solar Motion Light be purchased?
Please contact www.novolinkinc.com or call
1-800-933-7188.
Are any parts of the LED Solar Motion
Light weatherproof?
All parts of the LED Solar Motion Light are fully
weather- proofed and are ideal for any exterior
installation.
Why does the LED Solar Motion Light
appear to ‘strobe’ or flash?
Log into the App and check the battery status
of the unit. If the battery is low, then allow it to
fully charge before using the light. If the battery
is charged, adjust the LUX in the light’s Settings
menu. (This feature is available for Bluetooth
Smart Control model only.)
Will decorative or street lights have an
effect on the LED Solar Motion Light’s
ability to operate?
Yes, the sensor of the LED Solar Motion Light is
light sensitive. For nighttime usage, ensure no
other light activates the motion sensor.
