Step 5: Close the battery door and tighten the screw
Step 6: Remove the solar panel protection lm.
NOTE:
- USE ONLY the rechargeable 3.6V Ni-MH battery-pack provided.
- Do NOT use battery of different type.
- It is recommendable to wrap water-resistant tape over the socket for extra protection against
moisture and salinity in air.
3.1.3 ADJUST THE SOLAR PANEL
The tilting angle of solar panel can be adjusted vertically from 0° into 15°, 30°, 45° and 60°
positions depending on the area you are living in. For optimal power output year-round, please
set the tilt angle that is closest to your latitude.
E.g.,
Location (latitude, longitude) Solar panel tilt angle
45°
60°
30°
15°
0°
Hamburg (53.558, 9.7874) 60°
Chicago (42.1146, -88.0464) 45°
Houston (29.7711, -95.3552) 30°
Bangkok (14.2752, 100.5684) 15°
Sydney (-33.5738, 151.3053) * 30°
*Sensors installed in Southern Hemisphere must have their solar panels facing North.
Step 1: Loosen the screw lightly until the gears on the
opposite side separated from lock position.
1. Remove the protection lm on the solar cell.
