5. Increase RANGE only as needed. A higher 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
• Dryer Vents
• Heating Vents
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.

• 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 sufficiently
recharged. Note: To determine if the battery is charged
after the initial setup, watch the red LED on the front
of the sensor. If it blinks when motion is sensed, then
the battery is charged. If not, then turn the ON-TIME
switch to off and allow the sun to charge the battery for
3 to 7 days. Test the battery as described under Initial
Battery Charge, page 1.
• 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.
Battery rePLaCeMent
This solar light contains a rechargeable battery that
can be replaced if needed. Rechargeable batteries will
eventually lose their ability to hold a charge. To replace
the battery follow the steps below.
IMPORTANT: the sealed lead-acid battery must be
recycled or disposed of properly.
1. Remove rear battery cover. Press in the two catch
releases on the cover and remove the cover.
2. Remove rechargeable battery.Slide battery out of case
and remove the wire connectors from the battery.
Night
3. Replace battery. Connect the RED wire connector to
x
the positive (+) terminal and the BLACK wire connector
x
to the negative (-) terminal. Wire connectors should
fit tightly. If not, remove the wire connector from the
terminal. Use a pair of pliers to gently squeeze the
connector to ensure a tight fit. Reconnect wire con-
nector to the terminal.
4. Replace battery cover.Insert the two tabs on the cover
into the slots on the back of the case. Press the cover
against the case until the two catch releases snap into
place.
