Sunny Beam External Antenna Position
The external antenna on the Sunny Beam has a built-in hinge. Bend the antenna at the hinge
and position it so that it is straight up. This will be the most effective position for most
installations.
NOTE: Do not rotate (other than where hinged), loosen or remove the external
antenna from the Sunny Beam. Operating the Sunny Beam without the antenna
will damage the Sunny Beam and void the warranty.
Installing the AA Batteries
To begin the setup process, install the pair of AA batteries included with the unit. Remove the
battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the Sunny Beam and insert the AA
batteries. Be careful to observe proper polarity.
NOTE: Only the batteries supplied with the Sunny Beam should be used. If it
becomes necessary to replace the batteries in the future, replace with the same
size and type. (AA Rechargeable Alkaline)
NOTE: The Sunny Beam may begin to operate before the batteries are inserted if
exposed to sunlight. The batteries must still be inserted for the Sunny Beam to
function properly. The solar cell is design to help keep the batteries full, but not
energize the entire unit.
NOTE: To make the installation of the AA batteries easier, insert the positive (+)
end of the cell first.
Once the batteries are inserted, replace the battery compartment cover. The Sunny Beam will
turn on automatically and enter setup mode.
