Thanks for using a FakeTV. You need not restrict its use to vacations. You can
simply leave FakeTV set up, discouraging would-be burglars every time you are
out for the evening. Despite the very bright output, and thanks to the recent
advancements in LED technology, FakeTV draws less power than a night light.
INTERNAL LIGHT SENSOR: Most convenient is to use the light sensor built into
FakeTV. If it gets dark early (say, around five pm), place the switch on the FakeTV
unit in the DUSK + 7 HRS position If it gets dark later (say, around nine) use the
DUSK + 4 HRS position. One or two LED's will turn on, depending on switch
setting. FakeTV will not turn on until it is really, really dark (0.5 lux), because it is
only effective when it is dark outside. If a light on a timer, or some other light
source illuminates the room with the FakeTV unit, then FakeTV will not turn on.
Product Code: FTV10
CHECK IT OUT. Take a look outside when it is dark, and FakeTV is on. Make
sure you can see the light from FakeTV, but not the FakeTV unit itself. It's a good
idea to try out FakeTV a couple of days while the house is still occupied, so you
know that it is coming on at the times you want.
The diffuser lens built into FakeTV prevents the light output from ever being
dangerous - it is less concentrated than, say, an LED flashlight. A
void staring at
FakeTV directly - it is not healthy to stare at any bright light source.
EXTERNAL TIMERS: If for any reason you wish to have the FakeTV on at some
times other than those provided by the light sensor, you may turn the FakeTV unit
on, and plug the AC Adapter in the timer. Alternatively, you may give the
appearance of a television left on all the time by simply leaving the switch on
FakeTV in the on position and plugging the adaptor in an unswitched outlet.
TO USE FAKETV:
PLACEMENT: Place the FakeTV unit on a table or other suitable horizontal
surface, using the illustrations as a guide. Plug the AC adaptor into the FakeTV
unit, and into an outlet.

How FakeTV Works and Troubleshooting
