4.2 Mounting Instructions

1. Assemble Brackets: Attach the mounting brackets to both the solar panel and the flood light unit using the provided thumb bolts. Ensure they are securely fastened but allow for angle adjustment.
2. Mark Drilling Points: Hold the bracket in your chosen installation spot. Use a pencil to mark the positions for drilling holes.
3. Drill Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your surface (e.g., masonry bit for brick, wood bit for wood), drill holes at the marked points. Insert the plastic anchors into the drilled holes if installing on masonry.
4. Secure Brackets: Align the bracket with the drilled holes and secure it using the provided screws. Ensure the bracket is firmly attached to the surface.
5. Attach Units: Mount the solar panel and flood light unit onto their respective secured brackets.
6. Adjust Angles: Adjust the angle of both the solar panel (to maximize sun exposure) and the flood light (to direct illumination) using the thumb bolts. Tighten the thumb bolts to lock the angles in place.
7. Connect Cable: Connect the cable from the solar panel to the flood light unit. Ensure the connection is secure.
8. Alternative Mounting (Cable Ties): For poles or fences, use the provided cable ties to secure the brackets instead of screws. Wrap the cable ties around the pole/fence and through the bracket holes, then tighten securely.

5. Operating Instructions

The intelamp Solar Flood Light operates automatically based on ambient light conditions.

1. Initial Activation: Before first use, ensure the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight for at least 6 hours to fully charge the battery.
2. Power On/Off Switch: Locate the power switch on the solar panel unit. Ensure it is in the 'ON' position for automatic operation.
3. Automatic Operation: The built-in photocell sensor will detect ambient light. At dusk, the light will automatically turn on. At dawn, it will automatically turn off and begin recharging.
4. Lighting Modes: The light illuminates at full brightness (1000 lumens) for the initial 4 hours after activation at dusk. After this period, it will automatically switch to a lower brightness level to extend lighting duration until dawn. This intelligent discharge control ensures prolonged illumination.
5. Remote Control: Use the provided remote control to manually turn the light on/off or adjust settings if available (specific remote functions may vary by model, refer to remote's mini-guide if included).

6. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your intelamp Solar Flood Light, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Clean Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and efficient charging.
• Check Connections: Periodically inspect the cable connection between the solar panel and the light unit to ensure it remains secure and free from damage.
• Clear Obstructions: Ensure no new obstructions (e.g., growing branches, new structures) are shading the solar panel.
• Battery Care: The integrated rechargeable battery is designed for long life. Avoid prolonged storage of the light in a completely discharged state. If storing for an extended period, ensure it is fully charged before storage and recharge every few months.
• IP65 Rating: While IP65 waterproof, avoid submerging the unit in water or exposing it to high-pressure water jets.
