Installation Steps:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Activate: Locate the power button, typically on the back or underside of the solar panel unit. Switch the light to motion mode before installation.
- Choose Location: Select a location that receives ample direct sunlight for at least 5-6 hours daily to ensure optimal charging. Consider the desired coverage area for motion detection.
- Assemble:
- For Ground Mounting: Attach the ground stake to the main light unit. Insert the assembled unit firmly into the ground in your desired location.
- For Wall Mounting: Use the provided mounting base and hardware. Mark the drilling points on the wall, drill pilot holes, insert wall anchors, and secure the mounting base with screws. Attach the light unit to the secured base.
- Adjust Angle: The solar panel is 75° rotatable, and the light unit is 360° rotatable. Adjust both to ensure the solar panel receives maximum sunlight and the light covers the desired area for motion detection.

Operating Instructions
The WaitScher Solar Light operates automatically based on light conditions and motion detection.
- Automatic Operation: The light is designed to automatically charge during the day and turn on at night when motion is detected.
- Motion Detection: The PIR motion sensor activates the light when movement is detected within its range (up to 26ft). The light will remain on for approximately 30 seconds after motion ceases.
- Red Indicator Light: A red indicator light on the front of the unit will flash, simulating a security camera, providing an additional deterrent.
- Daytime Auto-Off: The light will automatically turn off during daylight hours to conserve battery and allow for charging.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your WaitScher Solar Light, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Clean Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption for efficient charging.
- Clear Obstructions: Ensure no trees, bushes, or structures block direct sunlight from reaching the solar panel throughout the day.
- Check Placement: Periodically verify that the light and solar panel remain securely positioned and angled correctly for optimal performance.
- Battery Care: The integrated lithium battery is designed for long-term use. Avoid prolonged periods of no sunlight, as this can reduce battery life.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your WaitScher Solar Light, try the following solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient sunlight for charging. | Ensure the solar panel is in direct sunlight for 5-6 hours daily. Clean the solar panel. |
| Light flashes red but does not illuminate. | Motion sensor issue or low battery. | Ensure the light is switched to motion mode. Allow for full charge. Check for obstructions near the motion sensor. |
| Light stays on constantly or turns on during the day. | Sensor interference or incorrect mode. | Ensure the light is not exposed to other light sources at night. Verify the switch is in motion mode. |
| Motion detection range is poor. | Obstructions or incorrect angle. | Adjust the light unit's 360° rotation and the solar panel's 75° rotation to optimize detection area. Clear any obstacles. |
