Key Features:

• Motion-activated PIR sensor for automatic illumination.
• 16 green LED light system for enhanced low-light visibility.
• Integrated solar panel for continuous battery charging.
• Weather-resistant design for outdoor use.
• Simple On/Off switch for manual control.
• Universal mounting hardware included for easy installation on feeders or trees.

Setup and Installation

1. Choose Location: Select a location near your game feeder or desired monitoring area. Ensure the solar panel side (Figure 2) has direct exposure to sunlight for optimal charging throughout the day. A south-facing orientation is generally recommended in the Northern Hemisphere.
2. Mounting: Use the included universal mounting hardware to securely attach the Moonshine Feeder Light to a tree or a feeder pole. Ensure it is mounted at a height that allows the PIR motion sensor to effectively detect movement within the desired illumination range (up to 100 yards).
3. Initial Charge: For best performance, allow the unit to charge in direct sunlight for at least 24-48 hours before initial use, especially if it has been stored for an extended period.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off: Locate the sliding On/Off switch on the back of the unit (Figure 3). Slide the switch to the "ON" position to activate the feeder light. Slide to "OFF" when not in use to conserve battery life.
2. Motion Activation: Once powered on, the integrated PIR (Passive Infrared) motion sensor will detect movement within its range. Upon detection, the 16 green LEDs will illuminate, providing light for observation or hunting.
3. Solar Charging: The integrated solar panel continuously charges the internal battery during daylight hours. This eliminates the need for external power sources or frequent battery replacements.
4. Battery Status: The unit features a battery status indicator (typically LED lights) to show the current charge level of the internal battery. Refer to the product's specific indicator for details.

Maintenance

• Solar Panel Cleaning: Periodically inspect and clean the solar panel surface to ensure maximum light absorption. Dust, dirt, leaves, or snow can reduce charging efficiency. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the panel.
• Unit Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the feeder light as needed with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Weather Resistance: The Moonshine Feeder Light is designed to be weather-resistant. However, for prolonged periods of extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy snow, prolonged sub-zero temperatures), consider temporarily relocating the unit indoors if possible to extend its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

• Light Not Illuminating:
  • Ensure the On/Off switch is in the "ON" position.
  • Check the battery status indicator. If low, allow the unit to charge in direct sunlight for a full day.
  • Verify that the PIR sensor is not obstructed and that there is actual motion within its detection range.
• Poor Charging Performance:
  • Ensure the solar panel is clean and free of debris.
  • Relocate the unit to an area with more direct and prolonged sunlight exposure. Avoid shaded areas.
• Inconsistent Motion Detection:
  • Adjust the mounting height and angle to optimize the sensor's field of view.
  • Ensure there are no swaying branches or other objects that might trigger false detections.
