You might try reading your directions. All sorts of useful information in
there regarding setting the sensitivity controls, false triggering, reasons
for false triggering, etc. If you notice, they come in all price ranges and
features. But each one should function reasonably and not come on when a
moth or snowflake flies past.

HTH.

You're right. That's not a good idea. Most manauls are written by
communists or islamo-fascists.
