Operating Modes
The device features a mode/on/off switch. Pressing the switch cycles through four distinct operating modes and then powers off the unit. The detection range is approximately 5 to 8 meters.
Image: A visual guide illustrating the four distinct operating modes: 24-hour ultrasonic with flashing, night ultrasonic with flashing, 24-hour siren with flashing, and night siren with flashing.
- Mode 1 (First Press): 24-hour ultrasonic with flashing lights. This mode provides continuous deterrence using ultrasonic sound and visual alerts throughout the day and night.
- Mode 2 (Second Press): Night ultrasonic with flashing lights. In this mode, the device activates ultrasonic sound and flashing lights only during nighttime hours, conserving power during the day.
- Mode 3 (Third Press): 24-hour siren with flashing lights. This mode uses a loud siren and flashing lights for deterrence continuously, suitable for areas requiring strong, constant alerts.
- Mode 4 (Fourth Press): Night siren with flashing lights. The siren and flashing lights activate only at night, offering powerful deterrence when visibility is low.
- Power Off (Fifth Press): The device will power off.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Comboss Solar Outdoor Motion Sensor Alarm, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Solar Panel Cleaning: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may obstruct sunlight and reduce charging efficiency.
- Battery: The device includes a Lithium Polymer battery. While solar charging is primary, if the device is placed in a consistently shaded area or during prolonged periods of low sunlight, use the provided USB cable to charge the unit.
- Sensor Area: Keep the motion sensor lens clear of obstructions like leaves, branches, or spiderwebs to ensure accurate detection.
- Environmental Conditions: Although IP65 rated, extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy snow, prolonged sub-zero temperatures) may affect performance. Consider bringing the unit indoors during severe weather to protect it.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device not activating | Low battery charge; Sensor obstructed; Incorrect mode selected. | Ensure solar panel is clean and exposed to sunlight, or charge via USB. Clear any obstructions from the sensor. Cycle through modes to select the desired setting. |
| Lights flash but no sound | Device in ultrasonic-only mode; Speaker obstruction. | Switch to a siren mode (Mode 3 or 4). Check if the speaker is blocked or damaged. |
| Short detection range | Sensor obstruction; Environmental factors (e.g., extreme cold). | Clear sensor. Ensure optimal placement. Note that performance may be reduced in very cold conditions. |
