Press the button on top of the handle with your thumb, then squeeze the trigger on the underside of the handle to open the gate. Swing the gate back to its closed position. The gate will lock automatically. Always check to ensure the gate is locked. Never leave your child unattended. Use mild soap and wipe with a damp cloth. Be careful not to wash or wipe the stickers on the base of the gate. Removing or damaging the stickers will void the warranty. For LUNA, do not wipe damp cloth near light, battery compartment, or motion sensor. How To Install
