Operating Instructions
- Initial Laser Adjustment:
Drive your car into the garage to your desired parking position. Adjust the two laser modules by rotating them 360 degrees until the laser beams project onto a specific point on your car's dashboard or hood that you wish to use as your parking marker. Remember this spot.

When you drive your car into the garage, the built-in motion sensor will detect the vehicle's movement from up to 10 feet away and automatically activate the laser beams.
- Parking Guidance:
Continue driving until the laser beam(s) align with the predetermined spot on your car (dashboard, hood, etc.). This indicates you have reached your correct parking position.

After 30 seconds of no detected movement, the laser beams will automatically turn off to conserve power.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: If using batteries, replace them when the laser beams become dim or the device fails to activate. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.
- Mounting Check: Periodically check that the device and its mounting plate are securely fastened to the ceiling.
