BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY! 

Turning CAIA on 

 

Press  the  power  button  for  1  –  3 
seconds. 
You  will  hear  a  sound  (Yes,  CAIA 
speaks. You will get acquainted to her 
sounds). 
 
If  after  the  sound  nothing  happens, 
then she’s still not sufficiently charged. 
Keep  the  solar  panel  under  direct 
sunlight  for  some  more  time.  Then 
press the ‘on’ button again. 

If  after  the  sound  she  starts  moving,  then  just  sit  and  wait.  CAIA  will  start  scanning  her 
surroundings, looking for the sun. She will stop either because she’s found it, or because she 
has not. 
If CAIA finds the sun 
You will see a spot of light on the wall or ceiling, where you pointed her. She will keep tracking 
the sun, as long as she has direct access to the sun’s rays.  
You can adjust the direction of the pointer by either turning her or by adjusting the slider.  
If CAIA cannot find the sun 
It’s  because  she  is  not  in  direct  sun,  the  camera  is  not  within  range  of  scan  or  it’s  cloudy.  
CAIA will signal ‘sun not found’ (alternating high and low beeps), and will return to the 
home position and await user input (to start another scan). 
 
If you hear no sounds. After having charged her, placed her and turned CAIA on, then please 
get in touch with us at 

information@solenica.com

Is that it? 

Well, technically yes.  
After this step is where we expect that a lot of your feedback will prove very useful.  
 
If CAIA is placed in a spot that gets direct sunlight all day, she is programmed to “go to sleep” 
(home position) at night and automatically wake up the next morning by herself. So that you 
don’t have to do anything (unless you want to point the light somewhere else).   
 
On the next page you will find some more advanced settings & operations.
