Setup and Installation
Initial Charging
Before first use, ensure the protective film is removed from the solar panel. Place the solar lights in direct, unobstructed sunlight for more than 6 hours to allow for a full initial charge. This ensures optimal battery performance.

Choosing an Installation Location
Select a location that receives ample direct sunlight throughout the day to maximize charging efficiency. The light should be mounted at a height that allows the motion sensor to cover the desired area effectively.
Installation Methods
The TECKNET solar lights offer multiple installation options:
- Screw Mounting: This is the recommended method for secure installation. Use the provided screws and wall plugs to firmly attach the light to a wall or fence.
- Double-sided Adhesive: For lighter applications or temporary placement, double-sided tape can be used. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.
- Rope Hanging: The lights can also be hung using a rope through designated points, suitable for fences or other structures.

Operating Instructions
The TECKNET solar motion lights feature three distinct lighting modes, selectable via a button on the unit. The advanced PIR motion sensor detects movement within 10-17 feet and a 120° angle, activating the light according to the chosen mode.
Lighting Modes
- Mode 1 (Constant Brightness Mode): The light remains at medium brightness continuously for approximately 8 hours after dark. This mode is activated by pressing the button once.
- Mode 2 (Low Light Sensor Mode): The light stays at a low brightness when no motion is detected. Upon detecting motion, it switches to full power for 25-30 seconds, then returns to low brightness. This mode is activated by pressing the button twice.
- Mode 3 (Sensor Mode - Recommended): The light remains off when no motion is detected. When motion is sensed, the light turns on at full power for 25-30 seconds, then turns off. This mode is activated by pressing the button three times.

Wide Coverage
The 300° wide lighting angle ensures extensive coverage, illuminating up to 376 square feet, making it ideal for yards, decks, and pathways.

Maintenance
To ensure continuous optimal performance of your solar lights, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Clean Solar Panel: Periodically wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may accumulate and hinder charging efficiency.
- Clear Obstructions: Ensure no trees, bushes, or other objects are blocking direct sunlight from reaching the solar panel.
- Check Mounting: Periodically check that the lights are securely mounted and have not become loose due to weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
If your TECKNET solar motion light is not functioning as expected, consider the following:
- Light Not Turning On:
- Ensure the light has been charged in direct sunlight for at least 6 hours.
- Verify that the solar panel is clean and free from obstructions.
- Check if the light is in the correct operating mode (Mode 1, 2, or 3).
- Short Illumination Time:
- The solar panel may not be receiving enough direct sunlight during the day. Relocate the light to a sunnier spot.
- Extreme cold weather can affect battery performance.
- Motion Sensor Not Responding:
- Ensure the sensor is clean and unobstructed.
- Verify that the light is in Mode 2 or Mode 3, which utilize the motion sensor.
- Test the detection range by walking within 10-17 feet of the sensor.
If issues persist after following these steps, please contact customer support for assistance.
