Installation Instructions
Mounting Spotlight:
- Remove the Mounting Plate from the spotlight by twisting the dial counterclockwise.
- Choose a location with maximum sun exposure. Drill holes matching the pattern on the Mounting Plate and install plastic anchors (included).
- Align the arm of the spotlight with the opening on the Mounting Plate. Attach the Mounting Plate using 3 screws (included). Twist the dial clockwise to tighten and secure it.
For In-Ground Installation:
- Insert Ground Spike into the Stake.
- Make sure the soil is softened. Insert Stake into the ground.
- Insert spotlight over the Stake.
Important Installation Notes:
- Always choose a location with maximum sun exposure during the day for proper charging.
- Do not use the spotlight to force the stake into the ground. Insert the stake first, then place the spotlight over it.
- Avoid areas under trees or bushes, as this will prevent a proper charge.
- Do not install near existing outdoor lights, as the built-in sensor may prevent the solar lights from turning on.
- During fall and winter, fewer daylight hours may result in batteries not charging fully, potentially affecting operating time.
- In cold winter months, it is recommended to remove the spotlight to prevent damage from frost and freezing temperatures.
Adjusting Angles
- To adjust the angle of the Solar Panel, loosen the Adjustment Knob (2). Once the desired angle is selected, tighten the knob.
- Swivel the arm (3) of the spotlight to direct the light where needed.
Usage Instructions
- For first-time use, turn the Bionic Spotlight ON by sliding the switch on the back of the solar panel to the 'Sensor Mode' position.
- Leave the unit in direct sunlight for at least 5-6 hours for solar charging. The unit needs to be fully charged before initial use. If there isn't ample sunlight, charging may take longer.
- Once it becomes dark, the Bionic Spotlight will turn on automatically when it detects motion. The light will stay on for 30 seconds and then turn off if no motion is detected.
- The spotlight will turn off during the day or if the unit runs out of battery.
- Security Camera Likeness: When the unit is in 'Sensor Mode' (ON), a red LED light will blink on the front of the spotlight. The red light will remain blinking until motion is detected and the spotlight turns on.
