Operating Instructions
1. Courtesy Light Mode (AUTO)
- When the switch is set to AUTO and the unit is in its charging base, the integrated motion sensor will activate the light automatically in dark conditions.
- The light will turn on when motion is detected within a 3-meter range and a 120-degree detection angle.
- The light will automatically turn off after approximately 20 seconds of no detected activity. This mode is ideal for illuminating hallways, staircases, and entryways at night.

2. Emergency Light Mode (Anti-Blackout)
- The R720 Night Guard is equipped with an anti-blackout feature. When the unit is plugged into the wall socket (in any mode: AUTO, OFF, or ON) and a power outage occurs, the light will automatically activate.
- This provides immediate illumination, ensuring safety and visibility during unexpected power failures.

- Set the slide switch to ON for continuous illumination, or to AUTO for motion-activated portable light.
- This feature is useful for navigating dark areas, during emergencies, or for outdoor activities.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on in AUTO mode. | Not dark enough; no motion detected; unit not charged; switch not in AUTO. | Ensure ambient light is low; check for motion within range; ensure unit is fully charged; verify switch is set to AUTO. |
| Emergency light does not activate during power outage. | Unit not properly plugged into wall socket; unit not charged. | Ensure the charging base is securely plugged into a live wall socket; allow the unit to charge fully. |
| Portable flashlight does not work. | Battery is depleted; switch not in ON or AUTO mode. | Return the unit to the charging base to recharge; set the slide switch to ON for continuous light or AUTO for motion-activated light. |
| Unit sits horizontally in the wall socket. | Vertical orientation of plug pins not compatible with horizontal wall sockets. | This is a design characteristic. The unit will function correctly even if oriented horizontally. Ensure it is stable and does not easily dislodge. |
