Suggested Use

Install the door perpendicular to the ground and tighten screws firmly. Tilting or loose screws affect operation.
Regularly clean foreign bodies or obstacles around the door to prevent abnormal operation.
Position the solar panel to face sunlight directly, avoiding obstructions. Adjust orientation regularly for maximum solar energy absorption.

Tips
