4. Setup

4.1 Battery Installation

The XIAOMI Night Light 3 requires 2 Lithium Ion batteries, which are included with the product.

  1. Gently twist or slide open the battery compartment cover, typically located on the back or side of the light unit.
  2. Insert the 2 Lithium Ion batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
  3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

4.2 Mounting the Night Light

The night light offers versatile mounting options using its built-in magnet or the included 3M adhesive base.

Magnetic Attachment:

The night light can effortlessly adhere to magnetic surfaces such as refrigerators or other metallic furniture without the need for the adhesive base.

Using the 3M Adhesive Base:

For non-magnetic surfaces, use the provided 3M adhesive base. Please note that the adhesive is designed for one-time use only. Choose your location carefully before affixing.

  1. Select Location: Identify a suitable, smooth, clean, and dry surface. Recommended surfaces include wood, coated metal, or tiles. Avoid painted walls as the adhesive may damage the paint upon removal.
  2. Prepare Surface: Clean the chosen surface thoroughly to remove any dust, grease, or moisture.
  3. Apply Adhesive: Peel the protective backing from the 3M adhesive on the base.
  4. Affix Base: Press the base firmly onto the prepared surface. Apply consistent pressure for several seconds.
  5. Curing Time: Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before attaching the magnetic light unit to the base. Pressing firmly during application can shorten the wait time.
  6. Temperature Consideration: For optimal adhesion, apply the adhesive within a temperature range of 21°C to 38°C (70°F to 100°F). If the temperature is below 10°C (50°F), gently warm the adhesive before use.

5. Operating Instructions

The XIAOMI Night Light 3 features a switch to select between different operating modes: OFF, ON (constant light), and AUTO (sensor mode).

5.1 Mode Selection

  • OFF: The light is completely off and will not activate.
  • ON: The light remains constantly on, providing continuous illumination.
  • AUTO (Sensor Mode): The night light automatically switches on when it detects human movement in a dark environment.

5.2 Sensor Mode Operation (AUTO)

In AUTO mode, the night light utilizes both a motion sensor and a light sensor for intelligent activation:

  • Activation Conditions: The light activates only when it detects human movement AND the ambient brightness level is below 10 lux (i.e., in a dark environment).
  • Auto-Off: If no human activity is detected for 15 seconds, the light will automatically switch off to conserve battery power.
  • Sensor Range: The human body can be detected within a 120° angle centered around the XIAOMI logo. The detection range is approximately 5 meters (16.4 feet) in front and 3 meters (9.8 feet) to the side of the product.
  • Factors Affecting Sensor: The effectiveness of the sensor is dependent on ambient temperature, brightness, human body size, and movement speed.
  • Mounting Height: The sensor range provided is based on testing with the night light mounted at a height of 1.2 meters (3.9 feet), with the XIAOMI logo positioned as shown in Figure 1. The sensor range may vary with different mounting heights.

6. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe the surface of the night light with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Battery Replacement: When the light dims or stops functioning, replace the batteries with new Lithium Ion batteries. Ensure correct polarity.
  • Sensor Area: Keep the sensor area clear of obstructions to ensure optimal performance of the motion and light sensors.

7. Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Light does not turn on in AUTO mode.
  • Insufficient darkness (ambient light too high).
  • No motion detected within range.
  • Batteries are low or depleted.
  • Sensor obstructed.
  • Ensure the environment is dark enough (below 10 lux).
  • Move closer to the light or within the sensor's detection zone.
  • Replace batteries.
  • Clear any obstructions from the sensor area.
Light stays on constantly in AUTO mode.
  • Continuous motion detected.
  • Light is set to ON mode.
  • Ensure there is no continuous motion near the sensor.
  • Check the mode switch and set it to AUTO.
Light is dim or flickers.
  • Low battery power.
  • Replace batteries.
Adhesive base does not stick properly.
  • Surface is not clean, dry, or smooth.
  • Temperature is too low during application.
  • Insufficient curing time.
  • Ensure surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried.
  • Apply within recommended temperature range (21°C to 38°C). Warm adhesive if necessary.
  • Allow 24 hours for adhesive to cure before attaching the light.
