Solar Panel Installation

Turn On
Push the power button. When the power button is pushed, a green or light blue light will flash quickly as the device connects to the network. When the light pulses slowly, it is on and the device is connected.
Turn Off
Push the power button for about 2-3 seconds. After you push the power button, you will see a flashing green light, dark blue light and then no light. At that point the device is off.
Water Detection
When water is detected, the device will send a notification to you by either text or call. At that point, the top of the stake will flash a blue light 10 times every thirty seconds. You can turn that off by pushing the power button once while the light is not flashing. You should see the top light flash once indicating that the light is being turned off. You will need to turn the device on next time you want to set the stake for water detection.
