- Power on: Pull the power switch on the lower right side to the left. Pull to the right to turn off.
- Set opening/closing time and local time: Use the 'Set' key (?) to select time, and '▲'/'▼' keys to adjust. Time is displayed in 24-hour format.
- Selection mode: Default is Timed On/Timed Off (T-T). Press 'Mode' key (M) to switch between L-L (light sensitivity), L-T (light sensitivity on, time off), T-L (time on, light sensitivity off). T-T is recommended.
- Set opening/closing time or light sensitivity value: After mode selection, press 'Set' key (?) to set values. Use '▲'/'▼' keys to adjust. The door opening light sensitivity value should be greater than the door closing light sensitivity value.

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
- Read the user manual carefully before first use.
- Remote control pairing: To prevent confusion with multiple doors, pair remotes.
