The Motion Security Light includes a 2000mAh 3.7V rechargeable
Lithium-Ion battery. It is already installed in the unit, and may have
a small charge for testing.
During the day, the battery is charged by solar energy; it take about
6 hours in clear, direct sunlight for the battery to charge to full
capacity.
In the evening, when the light switches over to motion-sensing, the
battery discharges whenever the light is triggered. It will discharge
for a total of about 2 hours before being depleted. Once the
battery is depleted, the light will stop working until it is charged again
the next day.
The battery is exclusively for use in the Deant DFI-0452-WH, and
replacement batteries are available. Contact Home Depot Customer
Service at 1-866-308-3976 for details.
Battery is installed,
and may have a starting charge.
About the Rechargeable Battery
Specications and Usage

5
During the Day...
• Sunlight is converted to energy by Solar Panel
A B C D E F G H I J K L
, and stored in
the on-board lithium-ion battery.
• The light will not turn ON, unless LUX is set to High.
• When charging, the Indicator light
A B C D E F G H I J K L
will ash BLUE
every 4-6 seconds.
In the Evening...
• The Lamp Heads
A B C D E F G H I J K L
turn ON whenever motion
is detected by the Motion Sensor
A B C D E F G H I J K L
.
• The light will operate until the lithium-ion battery charge is depleted.
• When the battery runs low, the light will appear dimmer than
normal. This is the ECO mode, which allows the light to run
longer by reducing brightness.
• The Indicator light will ash GREEN when motion is detected.

The Solar Panel
A B C D E F G H I J K L
should be placed in an area that allows for the
maximum amount of sunlight exposure per day.
• Solar Panel is best when
placed on the southern-facing
portion, or the highest point, of
a structure.
• The panel should not be placed where shade or shadow is cast
upon it by trees, buildings, telephone poles, or other obstructions.
• The Solar Panel has a 15-foot cord for attachment to the
Light Fixture. A 30-foot extension cable is available from
shopNovolink.com. You can use up to 2 extension cables,
giving you an additional 60 feet distance between the Solar Panel
and the Light.

Once installed, the Solar Panel should be angled towards the
southern sky, so that the face of the panel is exposed to as much
sunlight as possible during the day. (Generally, an upward angle of
45º should be sucient for exposure.)

Helpful Tip:
At high noon, adjust the Solar Panel so that
it faces the sun. During any time of year, this
adjustment will provide optimal positioning for
collecting solar energy.
You can also angle the panel up by 45º,
which should provide for adequate exposure.

1. Make sure the light is properly installed, with the Solar Panel
A B C D E F G H I J K L
securely connected to the Light.
2. Place the POWER button in the
Auto (ON) position. The light
will proceed to the 3-Minute Test
mode.
OPTIONAL - Charging with the Power OFF
If the light does not immediately go into the 3-minute Test Mode, or if
the weather will not permit for charging with full sunlight, you can let
the light charge with the Power button in the OFF position.
This may allow the battery to charge slightly faster, as power is not
being drawn by the motion sensor when the light is o.
3. Place the POWER button in the OFF position.
4. You will leave the light OFF for 2-3 days,
depending on weather conditions.
5. When ready, place the POWER button in the Auto (ON)
position. It will go into a 3-minute test phase.
It is not necessary for you to interact with the light during the
3-minute test; the light will go through this cycle automatically, and
be ready for regular operation when complete.

Turning the Light ON
for the First Time

13
If you have already adjusted the dials, light heads and sensor,
you do not have to be present to observe the test.
For the 1st Minute...
The light will stay ON, so you can point the LED Lamp Heads
A B C D E F G H I J K L
in the
direction you prefer. When the 1st minute is over, the light will turn OFF.
For the 2nd and 3rd Minute...
The light will turn ON for 30-second intervals whenever it’s
triggered by motion. Use this time to adjust the Motion Sensor
Head
A B C D E F G H I J K L
in the direction you want it to detect motion. Here is a
step-by-step process that’s ecient for testing the motion sensor.
1. When the light turns OFF, move to the rst position
X1 X2
.
The light should turn ON when you move, and the
Indicator Light
A B C D E F G H I J K L
ash GREEN.
2. After 30 seconds, the light will turn OFF again, move the to second
position
X1 X2
. If the light does not turn ON when you move, adjust
the Motion Sensor Head or increase SENS.
3. Repeat this by moving to the 3rd
X1 X2
and 4th
X1 X2
positions,
waiting to see the light turn ON, and the Indicator Light ash
GREEN.
After the 3rd minute, the light will revert to its AUTO mode, and
only activate when the motion sensor is triggered, at the LUX level
you have selected (or when it is dusk/dark.) You can continue to
make adjustements to the Lamp Heads, Motion Sensor Head,
LUX, TIMER and SENS.

Your Motion Security Light has an Indicator light
A B C D E F G H I J K L
that will help you
understand what the unit is doing at any given time.
BLUE Indicator Light, “CHARGING”
• Flashes every 4-6 seconds when unit is charging.
• Indicates that the connection between Solar Panel and
Rechargeable Battery is intact.
• Demonstrates battery is functioning properly.
If you do not see the ashing blue light during the day, the battery
may be completely charged. If, however, the light does not turn ON
in the evening, check the connection between the Solar Panel
A B C D E F G H I J K L
and
the Light unit
A B C D E F G H I J K L
.
You will not see the Blue indicator light ON at night.
GREEN Indicator Light, “DETECTING MOTION”
• Flashes/Stays ON when motion is detected.
• Flashes during the daylight or at night.
• Indicates that the motion sensor is working, and the battery is
charged.
About the Indicator Light
( Blue = Charging • Green = Motion )

Light won’t turn ON in the evening
oLook for the Indicator Light during the day to see if it’s ashing Blue
about every 6 seconds. If so, the solar panel connection and battery are
OK. You may need to adjust the SENS setting.
oIs it below freezing outside? The battery could be frozen below its
operational level. Lithium-Ion batteries are less ecient in cold/freezing
weather. When temperatures warm-up, the battery will return to normal
function.
oIt’s possible the battery is draining early due to multiple activations and/or
a longer stay-on time. Lower the LUX and SENS settings to medium or
low, and reduce the TIMER to 1 minute, or as low as possible for your use.
Light turns ON during the day
oAdjust the LUX to Medium (M) or lower. The LUX setting is very sensitive,
and at High (H) it will activate the light in bright or daylight conditions.
Light Heads are ashing rapidly
oIncrease the LUX setting about one quarter, for example, from Low (L) to
between Low and Medium (M).
o Reset the unit by turning it OFF, then ON again.
Light doesn’t turn ON when I walk in front of it.
oConduct any testing (aside from the 3-minute testing) at night or in low-
light conditions.
o For the motion sensor to work properly, the Light Unit needs to be
mounted at 7.5 feet above the ground. Having the light lower, on a table
or fence, or in a small, enclosed space may reduce the eectiveness of
the motion sensor.
oIncrease SENS and adjust the Motion Sensor Head accordingly.
Light does not turn ON when my dog/cat walks in front of or under it.
The motion sensor is not calibrated for small to medium pets or animals.
Think I need a new battery.
If you’ve had a series of freezing, stormy, overcast or cloudy days, the
rechargeable battery may not have been able to store enough of a charge to
optimally power the light.
oWait until there are clearer skies, and the temperature has reached above
freezing.
oAllow the light to charge in full sunlight for at least 6 hours.
oCheck for the indicator light for BLUE ashing during the day, or GREEN in
the evening. If you see either of these, it’s less likely you need a new battery.
o If you do not see the indicator light ash BLUE during the day, check the
solar panel installation, and make sure the Panel is free of dirt or debris.
