1. Introduction
The Mr. Beams MB722 is a battery-powered, wireless, motion-sensing LED night light designed for convenient illumination in various indoor and outdoor locations. It features a built-in photocell that activates the motion sensor only when ambient light is low, conserving battery life. This light provides bright, automatic illumination without the need for electrical wiring, making installation simple and flexible.
2. Safety Information
- Battery Safety: Use only the specified battery type (4 AA batteries). Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries. Ensure batteries are inserted with correct polarity (+/-). Remove depleted batteries promptly. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
- Installation: Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and suitable for adhesion or screws. Avoid mounting near heat sources or in direct sunlight, which can affect sensor performance.
- Water Exposure: While designed to be weatherproof, avoid submerging the unit in water.
- LED Light: Do not stare directly into the LED light when it is illuminated, as it may cause temporary vision impairment.

5. Operating Instructions
The Mr. Beams MB722 night light operates automatically once batteries are installed and it is mounted.
- Motion Sensing: The integrated motion sensor detects movement up to 10 feet away.
- Automatic Activation: The light will only activate when motion is detected and the ambient light is low (e.g., at night or in a dark room). This photocell feature helps conserve battery life by preventing activation during daylight hours.
- Automatic Shut-off: The light will automatically turn off after a period of no motion detection, typically 20-30 seconds, to further conserve battery power.
- Optimal Placement: For best performance, mount the light in areas where motion is expected, such as hallways, stairways, closets, or bathrooms. Ensure the sensor is not obstructed.
