• Allow fixture to receive four full days of sunlight before turning fixture ON.
• Install your fixture 8-12 feet above ground (motion detector is less sensitive above 12 feet.
• Locate fixture so motion moves across detection zone (Fig. 1).
• Locate fixture away from heat producing sources to prevent false triggering. Also be very careful not to include objects such as windows, white walls and water in the detection zone whenever possible.
• Locate fixture away from moving objects such as trees and street traffic.
• You will need to adjust the angle of the solar panel throughout the year as seasons change in order to keep it at the best possible angle to the sun.
• Keep solar panel clear of any objects that will block the sunlight. It will be necessary to periodically clean the solar panel with soft wet cloth.
• During periods of several cloudy days, the battery will become discharged and will need to be recharged with sunlight.

Note: When battery is low, light may cycle on and off repeatedly. Turn off fixture until fully recharged.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Note: Your fixture is supplied with a 15 watt halogen bulb, which is shipped in the lamp compartment of the fixture. The lamp must be installed before use. Please see "Installing or Replacing the Bulbs"

section of the instruction sheet for installation instructions.

1. Locate area in which you would like to install your light fixture.

Note: For fixture to operate properly, the solar panel must be located in an area that will receive the maximum amount of sunlight and is free from obstructions.

1. Using two of the mounting screws provided, mount fixture to a solid surface 8-12 feet above the ground, by placing the screws through the holes on either side of the fixture (Fig. 4). Adjust sensor head so that control switches are facing the ground. Remove label from the front of the sensor head.

2. Using three of the mounting screws provided, mount solar panel to a solid surface (Fig. 5). Adjust the angle of the solar panel so that it will receive the maximum amount of direct sunlight possible during the daylight hours.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR FIXTURE

1. After fixture has received four full days of, sunlight, slide the ON/OFF switch on the bottom of the housing to the ON position (Fig. 6).

Note: Fixture has a warm up period of about one minute. Light may turn on during this period. Once the light turns off, you are ready to test.

1. Move slide switch on the bottom of the sensor to "TEST". Set sensitivity knob to medium (halfway) (Fig. 7).
2. Aim sensor toward the general direction that motion will be coming from. Maintain at least 1" of clearance between sensor head and lamps. Always position the sensor head with control switches facing toward the ground.
3. Walk through the detection zone at the farthest distance you want your detector to detect motion.
4. Adjust the SENSITIVITY knob until you get desired results. For more range, aim sensor slightly upward. For less range, aim sensor head slightly downward. Lights will turn off 4 seconds after motion stops.

Note: Allow five seconds after light turns off before your next test.

1. Move slide switch to "AUTO". Light will turn on at night when motion is detected and turn off 30 seconds after motion stops.
