You got a remote in the box. Here is how to use it well and what to do when it seems to stop working.

Basics

Stand within a few metres of the light, point the remote at the light unit and press the button. If it does not respond, move closer or change the remote batteries.

Explore carefully

Test the buttons one at a time at dusk so you can see what each does. Write down the settings you like.

Keep it safe

Store the remote where the manager or caretaker can find it. Take a photo of its buttons.

If it stops working

In short: Point, press, test at dusk and keep the remote safe.
