This will make it easier for you to select the 2.4GHz band for the device setup.

To install the Aria, you must already have an existing floodlight you wish to replace or have a setup location with an installed junction box and available electrical wiring. 2. Voltage supplied to the Aria should be between 110240VAC. 3. Setup location is recommended to be at least 6 to 10 feet from the ground. 4.

WARNING: Failing to shut off the power could result in a serious injury, electrical shock, and/or risk of fire.
