- Adjust Light Heads and Sensor: Loosen the adjustment screws on the light heads and motion sensor to position them for optimal coverage. Tighten the screws once adjusted.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Initial Operation
Upon initial installation, allow the solar light to charge for at least 24-48 hours in direct sunlight before its first use. This ensures the battery reaches a full charge. The light is designed to operate automatically, turning on when motion is detected in low-light conditions.
6.2 Motion Sensor Adjustment
The motion sensor has a detection range of up to 45 feet and a 180-degree angle. The sensitivity and duration of the light can typically be adjusted using controls on the sensor unit or via a remote control (if included with your model). Refer to the specific markings on your device for adjustment options.
6.3 Light Modes
The flood light is primarily motion-activated. It will remain off during daylight hours while charging and will activate its 1000-lumen output when motion is detected in the dark. The light will turn off automatically after a set period of no motion, conserving battery life.
7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning
Regularly clean the solar panel and light heads with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. A clean solar panel ensures efficient charging. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
7.2 Battery Replacement
The product includes one replaceable 3.7V 1800mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery. Over time, rechargeable batteries may lose capacity. If you notice a significant decrease in performance, the battery may need replacement. Use only the specified battery type. Refer to the product's battery compartment for instructions on safe replacement.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
