- Ampifandraiso ny fitaovanao: Ampidiro ny lamp or appliance you wish to control into the outlet on the power block. Ensure the device is switched to the 'ON' position if it has its own power switch.
- Apetraho ny Motion Sensor: The motion sensor is connected to the power block by a 6-foot cord, allowing for flexible placement.
- Fametrahana takelaka: Place the sensor in the included weighted base and position it on a table, counter, or any flat surface where it can best detect motion in the desired area.
- Fametrahana rindrina: The sensor unit can also be mounted to a wall using appropriate screws (not included) through the designated holes on its back.
- Kalibration voalohany: Upon initial power-up, the unit may cycle on and off briefly. This is a normal calibration process for the sensor. Allow a few moments for it to stabilize.
