Does the moon turn on when you hit the switching in back of it, or do you then have to press the remote for it to turn on? Thx.

You only use the remote to turn it on. Which makes is really convenient and easy.

You have to use the remote to turn it on. There are many light options with the remote and it will go off automatically after about 30 minutes or so. Great as a night light.

You have to turn the on switch on back of remote to the "on" position. The top button on front of remote turns moon on. This will just leave moon lit in a certain phase only. If you hit the smaller bottom button, it will rotate through the phases automatically. It is on a timer so it will only stay on for half an hour, and then you have to press buttons again. This is to conserve the batteries.

My helicopter has an on/off switch on the hell and one on the controller also. Turn on the helicopter first, then the remote. Mine has a green light on the controller just above the on/off switch that lights up when you turn the controller on. Not sure if yours is the same. If it still doesn't work, there is an A/B switch above the green light. Try switching from A to B, or B to A, depending on where it is now. Hope this helps. Mine has worked flawlessly since I got it.

The one I purchased worked when I purchased it and it is still working. I agree with the other answers. It probably got turned on by accident. This is a great toy and well be worth contacting the seller to have the opportunity to make it right.

Mike: This comes with an On/Off switch that I installed on my electronics panel in the camper. It is recommend that you turn the unit off after it has found the satellite. This is because as you know, the wind and walking around the camper makes the camper move around a little and will cause the dish to constantly correct for the movement. And of course you need to shut the unit down as you travel the highways or the dish will be constantly correcting and it may damage it. The switch is hooked up to a 12v power supply in the camper and to the twin leads that go up on the roof of the camper to control the electric motors and signal sensors in the unit. The unit comes with very detailed installation photos, drawing and diagrams. If you go to the Winegard website you can down load the installation instructions. It took me about 3 hours to install, most of that time was spent making sure the caulking was complete enough to keep the roof water tight. It works perfectly and the Amazon price is far lower than any other place I checked. Steve

You need to take it off. There's a heart/moon screen. Take the device out of it's holder, press the button until you get to the heart/moon screen and then press on the heart. Then it'll show a message for you to place your finger over the sensor on the back of the device. Wait a few seconds and then it displays.With the app on the iPhone, there's a way to do it with the iPhone camera--I prefer using the device.

There's a switch on the bottom that you turn on. If it doesn't work, it's probably defective just like mine was. Mine never worked. I tried putting in brand new batteries so many times and it never worked. Super disappointing. Send it back for a refund.

Yes, it does. With the light off, press and hold the power switch for 2 to 3 seconds. It will come on in moonlight mode, and then go off again. To turn it on again, hold the power switch for 2 to 3 seconds again.

There is a red reset button on the transponder on the back. Perhaps pushing that, but I had no problem turning mine on with the remote. I tested all the different colors and configurations and everything worked just fine. Hope this helps and let me know if I can assist you any further. Paul Nahmias

Besides all the other answers make sure the switch on the back is on. I find it is pretty easy to turn off while you are putting it up. It does have to be completely dark plus fresh batteries are a must. I have put then up and had to wait until I am walking by at night to see if it is really working. I did get one that was a Dud, so it does happen.

Unfortunately it won't. I use a seperate timer to switch on my moonlights. It does a great job with ramping up/down though!

Why in the world would you need to get into the remote? Are you just trying to replace the battery? That is done from the bottom end of the remote if it is not functioning properly pull the plastic insulator tab out between the battery and the contact.as somebody who is busy messing with lots of LED lighting types and finding all kinds of problems and solutions of late I actually am really curious as to why you want to get in to the remote back. Maybe I'll learn something from you.

When you press the receiver button on the remote, it doesn't turn the remote on or off, or actually change anything. It's the button you have to press before you use the numbered buttons on the lower half of the remote to switch between various sound and speaker features. It helps a lot to find the manual online, because it explains things much more thorougly.

In reply to an earlier post on Dec 2, 2012 1:55:04 PM PSTJitu says:If you place the switch at top in he "L" position then it will turn on only if ambient light level is low and motion is detected. In the "O" position it will turn on whenever motion is detected regardless of the ambient light level (24 hours)

Hi there.. If you are talking about the projection, it will not stay on all night. It will only stay one for a short period and then you will need to hit the button again.
