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 of 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.
installation
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. The angle of the
solar panel can be adjusted utilizing the pivot point
where the panel attaches to the bracket. This allows
you to maximize sun exposure.
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.
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).
Lock the bracket into place by shifting it
horizontally (2).
Place the mounting bracket template (refer
to 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.
moUnting BracKEt tEmplatE instrUctions
1. Cut out the template or use the provided insert.
2. Mark the screw hole locations ( X ) using a pencil or drill.
3. Drill holes in the marked locations.
• 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, lay out all components and check against the part list section in this manual.
• Never look directly into the solar motion light when illuminated.
safEty information
When replacing the batteries, be sure to:
• Use rechargeable batteries only.
• Match the replacement battery specications with the batteries that have been removed.
• Observe the correct polarity (+ and -) when installing the replacement batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries and Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc)
or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries.

Connect the wire from the solar panel into the socket
located under the light xture. Your solar motion light will
now begin to charge.
Once the motion light is installed, the side lamp
heads can be adjusted independently in a variety
of ways for optimal lighting coverage.
This screw can be tightened to secure
the positioning of the side lamp heads.
Do not over-torque this screw as this
action can damage the plastic joint.
Prior to using your solar motion light, the solar panel needs
to be connected to the light for a period of three days. This
initial charge should be done in the OFF position. After the
third day, your included batteries will be fully charged and
your solar motion light is ready for operation. Place the light
in the AUTO position.
The ON position acts to override the motion activation
function. This will allow a limited period of constant
illumination.

Batteries are located in the battery housing behind the light
xture. Select the OFF position on the light prior to opening
the battery housing. Remove the four screws to reveal the
batteries.
When replacing the batteries, observe the correct polarity
and match the battery specications with the batteries you
have removed. Use rechargeable batteries only.

Two different control switches adjust the light’s illumination
time and range of motion detection.
TIME: Determines the duration of the light once motion is
detected: 30 seconds, 60 seconds or 120 seconds.
• Test: Allows the positioning of the light’s motion sensor
to be tested day or night. Once the motion sensor is in the
desired position, attempt to trigger the light by moving
in the intended detection zone. If the light illuminates, the
motion sensor is positioned correctly. You are now ready
to move the switch to the preferred duration option. The
light will now only turn on in darkness.
DISTANCE: Controls the distance of the range of motion
detection: low, medium or high.

frEqUEntly asKED qUEstions
1. Where should the solar panel be mounted?
2. Does the solar panel require direct sun to charge?
3. Can additional or extended cable wire for the solar panel be
purchased?
4. Why does the solar motion light appear to “strobe” or ash?
5. Will decorative or street lights have an effect on the motion
sensor’s ability to operate?
6. What type of battery does my solar motion light require to operate?
1. 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. The solar panel will charge the internal batteries in direct and indirect light. For best results, try to optimize your solar panel’s sun exposure.
3. 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. A rapidly ashing light is caused by undercharged batteries. Turn the solar motion light’s switch to the “OFF” position and charge for two full
sunny days to bring the batteries to full charge. After two days, return the switch to the “AUTO” position.
5. Yes, the sensor of the solar motion light is light-sensitive. For nighttime usage, ensure no other light activates the motion sensor.
6. Your solar motion light requires the use of 3 AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
