POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
• Ensure that the power switch on the main body has been

• Ensure that the motion sensor has been positioned to face
oncoming movement.
• Ensure that the battery has been fully charged in direct sunlight
for 3 sunny days. Refer to the "Before First Use of Your Solar

• Moving trees, traffic, pets or birds may be getting in the area of
detection. This may be unavoidable, however the sensor could
be redirected to a height where this is less likely to occur.
• If there are reflective objects in the detection area such as
