Know before you buy
While designed for outdoor use, it is best placed in a sheltered area or brought inside during severe storms to protect the electronic components and battery housing.
Once activated, the skeleton will run its motion-sensor features for 6 hours and then automatically shut off to conserve battery life. It will remain off for 18 hours before resetting for the next cycle.
The skeleton is designed for straightforward assembly, though you may need a screwdriver to open the battery compartment. No specialized tools are required to connect the pieces.
The motion sensor is calibrated to detect movement within a few feet of the unit. It works best when placed near a walkway or entryway where trick-or-treaters are likely to pass by.
The sound and light features are integrated into the motion-activation sequence. You cannot independently toggle the sound off while the eyes are active.
