4. Package Contents
Ensure all items are present and in good condition upon unpacking:
- 4 x Linkind Solar Fence Lights
- Mounting Screws and Wall Plugs (quantity sufficient for 4 lights)
- Instruction Manual (this document)
5. Installation
For optimal performance, choose an installation location that receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Avoid areas under eaves, trees, or other obstructions that may block sunlight.
Mounting Steps:
- Prepare the Surface: Identify the desired mounting location on a fence, wall, or stair riser. Ensure the surface is clean and stable.
- Mark Drill Points: Hold the light in position and mark the two screw holes.
- Drill Holes: Use a drill to create holes at the marked points. Insert the provided wall plugs into the drilled holes.
- Secure the Light: Align the light with the wall plugs and insert the screws, leaving a small gap (approximately 5mm) between the screw head and the wall.
- Hang the Light: Hang the light onto the screws. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Alternative Installation: For surfaces where drilling is not preferred, the lights can also be fixed using strong double-sided adhesive tape (not included).

6. Operation
Initial Activation and Charging:
Before first use, ensure the lights are placed in direct sunlight for at least 8-10 hours to allow the internal battery to fully charge. The lights will automatically charge during the day and turn on at night.

Working Modes:
The lights feature multiple working modes, selectable via a button on the unit. Press the button to cycle through the modes:
- Mode 1 (Dim Light Mode): The light stays on at a dim level. When motion is detected, it brightens to 100% for 25 seconds, then returns to dim.
- Mode 2 (Energy Saving Mode): The light remains off. When motion is detected, it brightens to 100% for 25 seconds, then turns off.
- Mode 3 (Lights Off): The lights remain off at all times, regardless of motion.

Motion Sensor Functionality:
The integrated motion sensor detects movement within a specific range and angle, activating the brighter light modes as configured.
- Detection Distance: Up to 6 meters (20 feet)
- Detection Angle: 120 degrees

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your solar lights.
- Cleaning the Solar Panel: Periodically wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures efficient charging.
- Battery Care: The integrated Lithium-ion battery is designed for long-term use. Avoid prolonged storage in a completely discharged state. If storing the lights, ensure they are fully charged first.
- Environmental Protection: The lights are IP65 rated, making them waterproof, frost-resistant, heat-resistant, and windproof. However, extreme weather conditions may temporarily affect performance.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Linkind Solar Fence Lights, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient sunlight exposure; switch is off; battery is depleted. | Ensure the light is placed in direct sunlight for 8-10 hours. Check if the operating mode is set to 'Lights Off' (Mode 3) and change it if necessary. Allow the battery to charge fully. |
| Light is dim or only stays on for a short period. | Insufficient charging; dirty solar panel; aging battery. | Relocate the light to an area with more direct sunlight. Clean the solar panel regularly. If the issue persists after prolonged use, the battery may need replacement (contact support). |
| Motion sensor is not working or is too sensitive. | Sensor obstructed; incorrect mode selected; environmental interference. | Ensure the sensor lens is clean and unobstructed. Verify the light is in Mode 1 or Mode 2. Avoid installing near heat sources or reflective surfaces that might trigger the sensor. |
