Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your solar lights. Follow these steps for setup:

Initial Charge:

Upon arrival, the lights may have depleted power due to extended shipping. It is recommended to charge the solar lights for at least 6 hours in direct sunlight before initial use. After charging, test them in a dark area to ensure functionality.

Choosing a Location:

Select a location that receives ample direct sunlight throughout the day to ensure the solar panel can efficiently convert sunlight into electricity. Avoid shaded areas or locations under artificial night lighting, which may interfere with the light sensor.

Mounting Options:

The TECKNET solar lights offer multiple installation methods for your convenience:

• Screw Mounting: For a secure and permanent installation, use the provided screws and anchors to fix the light to a wall or fence.
• Double-sided Adhesive: For a less permanent solution, the included 3M tapes can be used to adhere the light to a clean, flat surface.
• Rope Hanging: The light can also be hung using a rope through its designated hanging points, offering flexibility for temporary or specific placements.

Activating the Light:

Locate the on/off button on the back of the unit. Press the button to cycle through the operating modes and activate the light. Ensure the light is in the desired mode before final installation.

Operating Modes

Your TECKNET solar light features three distinct lighting modes to adapt to different needs and environments. Cycle through these modes by pressing the power button on the back of the unit.

1. Mode 1: Always On Mode (Continuous Medium Brightness)
   The light will turn on at dusk and maintain a continuous medium brightness throughout the night, turning off automatically at dawn. This mode is suitable for constant ambient lighting.
2. Mode 2: Dim Light Sensor Mode
   The light stays at a dim brightness (30% light) at night. When motion is detected, it brightens to full intensity (100% light) for a set period, then returns to dim light after motion ceases. This mode balances constant illumination with energy saving.
3. Mode 3: Strong Light Sensor Mode
   The light remains off (0% light) at night. When motion is detected, it illuminates at full intensity (100% light) for a set period, then turns off completely after motion ceases. This mode is ideal for security and maximizing battery life.

Motion Sensor Functionality:

The advanced PIR motion sensor detects movement within a 13-20ft range and a 120° angle. This ensures that the light activates promptly when people, animals, or vehicles enter its detection zone, enhancing safety and convenience.

Maintenance

To ensure the long-term performance and efficiency of your TECKNET solar lights, regular maintenance is recommended:

• Clean the Solar Panel: Periodically wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and charging efficiency.
• Check for Obstructions: Ensure no trees, bushes, or structures are growing to block direct sunlight from reaching the solar panel, especially during different seasons.
• Inspect for Damage: Regularly check the light for any physical damage, such as cracks in the casing or loose components. The IP66 waterproof rating protects against weather, but physical impact can compromise it.
• Battery Longevity: The integrated battery is designed for long life. Avoid prolonged storage in a completely discharged state. If storing for an extended period, ensure the light is fully charged beforehand.
