4.3.2 Push Button Operation
The two types of button presses that will be accepted by the light as programming commands are:
Hold:
Pressing and holding the button down for several seconds cycles through the Model A704-5
command levels (see
Table 4-1: Overview of Command Levels and Modes
). Each
command level is indicated by the number of flashes from the amber indicator LED; one
blink indicates the first level, two blinks indicates the second level, etc. The amber indicator
LED indicates acceptance of a command for a button hold by flashing one to five times
depending on the command level. Once the desired command level has been reached,
release the push button.
Press:
Pressing the button for a fraction of a second enters the command within that level. The
green indicator LED indicates acceptance of a button press by flashing the same number of
times afterwards. The red indicator LED flashes three times if the command has not been
accepted due to button lockout. You must press the push button within 10 seconds of
releasing the hold, otherwise the light will exit the Programming Mode.
Table 4-1: Overview of Command Levels and Modes
illustrates the order of commands and modes for
programming the Model A704-5. This table is followed by a description of the light’s operation in each
mode. Read this table from left to right.

If the light is switched directly from Standby Mode to Autonomous mode, the light will remain off until the next time it detects a day-
to-night transition. When this is done in low lighting conditions such as an office or warehouse, the light will NOT turn on because
it considers it to be nighttime and is awaiting the next day-to-night transition before illuminating. If you would like to force the light to
turn on in Autonomous mode to verify the light illuminates, place it in a Temporary mode first and then into an Autonomous
mode. The light will now illuminate immediately in low lighting conditions.
