Possible Solutions
Ensure that the power switch on the main body has been turned to

the AUTO position.
Ensure that the motion sensor has been positioned to face

oncoming movement.
Ensure that the batteries have been fully charged in direct sunlight

for 3 sunny days - Refer to the "Before First Use of Your Solar
Wedge Light" section.
Check to see that the solar panel is facing south so that it receives

direct sunlight for most of the day, enabling the batteries to fully
charge.
Check to see that the solar panel is not near night time light

sources such as street lights.
The rechargeable batteries may need to be replaced.

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.
Heat sources such as air conditioners, vents, heater/dryer exhaust

outlets, barbecues, or other outside lighting may be falsely
activating the motion sensor. Try installing the Solar Wedge Light in
a different location.
If there are reflective objects in the detection area such as

windows, water, or white walls, you may need to redirect or
possibly reposition the motion sensor.
Test the motion sensor by covering it completely with cardboard

and waiting several minutes to make sure it does not detect motion.
If the light still switches on, please contact MAXSA for further
assistance.
Battery charge may be low. Turn the power switch to the OFF

position and charge the battery for three (3) sunny days, ensuring
the solar panel has been placed in direct sunlight.
