Warning: This procedure will void your warrantee. We recommend staggering your Unit code assignments; i.e., use even codes when HawkEyes or EagleEyes are in use. Remove the batteries from the unit. Remove all four screws from the back of the unit. Lift the cover off the sensor. On the circuit board inside the unit, look for a component with a red, squiggly line on it (near the center of the circuit board). Cover this component with a piece of electrician’s tape. The unit will now be in permanent darkness. Replace the cover and the screws. Note: This procedure will also prevent the unit from detecting motion only at night. Since it is now permanently detecting darkness, it will detect motion at all times.
