1. What is included with this product?
You receive your Park Right Garage Laser Park, a mounting bracket, mounting hardware, AC adapter, and an instruction manual.
2. How will it help me park?
The laser shows you how far to pull into the garage and where to stop so you don’t hit anything in the garage. As you pull into the garage, you will see the laser travel over your vehicle. When the laser reaches the pre-determined point on your vehicle, you know to stop.
3. Can I put my Park Right Garage Laser Park anywhere?
If you have the Park Right Garage Laser Park with one laser, the device needs to be placed in line with your garage door and with the motion sensor facing the garage door. Be sure that raising the garage door will not block the laser or the motion sensor. The motion sensor is the small, cloudy half-globe on the front of the unit that is directly in front of the laser. The Park Right Garage Laser Park also needs to be within range of a power outlet so it can be plugged in.
If you have the Park Right Garage Laser Park with two lasers, you can place the device where it is most useful for both vehicles. The lasers can be adjusted in any direction. Be sure the Park Right Garage Laser Park is within range of a power outlet and the motion sensor can sense your vehicle. The motion sensor is the small, cloudy half-globe on the front of the unit halfway between the lasers.
4. How long are the power cords on the AC adapters?
The power cords on the AC adapters for the Park Right Garage Laser Park devices with one laser are 9 feet long. The power cords on the AC adapters for the Park Right Garage Laser Park devices with two lasers are 6.5 feet long.
5. What if the power cord isn’t long enough to suit my needs?
Many garage door motors have an outlet you can use which will allow you to place the Park Right Garage Laser Park nearby. If you do not have a garage door opener or an electrical outlet near where you would like to position your Park Right Garage Laser Park, you can use any extension cord to bring power to your device.
6. Can I use battery power instead of the AC adapter as the main source of power?
No. Battery power is only meant as a back-up power supply and is not intended to provide long-term power. The AC power adapter should be used as the main source of power.
7. What type of batteries do the Park Right Garage Laser Parks use and how long do the batteries last?
The Park Right Garage Laser Parks with one laser have a battery compartment for one 9V battery. The Park Right Garage Laser Parks with two lasers have a battery compartment for three AA batteries. Battery power should provide power for around one week, depending on usage. Battery power is for back-up in case of a power outage and should not be used as a main source of power.
8. What is the sensitivity of the motion sensor? Can the sensor be adjusted?
The motion sensor has a range of 15 feet and will detect any motion from warm objects (people, cars, animals) within this range. The motion sensor is not adjustable.
9. How long will the laser stay on?
When you first connect power to the Park Right Garage Laser Park, the laser will turn on as a test that will last roughly 30 seconds. After that, the laser will be triggered by motion and will stay on as long as motion is detected. The laser will turn off roughly 15 seconds after the device stops detecting motion.
10. Will the laser stay on all the time?
No. The Park Right Garage Laser Park is motion-activated only. The laser will stay on as long as the device has power and detects motion.
11. What locations on my vehicle are good to use as a guide or target for the laser?
You can use multiple locations on your vehicle as a guide or target for the laser. You can use a hood ornament if you have one, the top or the edge of the dashboard, or any other feature on the vehicle you are able to see.
12. Are the lasers used in these products safe? What class are the lasers?
The lasers in all of the Park Right Garage Laser Parks are Class IIIA (or 3A) lasers. You should never look directly at any type of laser or shine them in your eyes. However if you accidentally look directly at the laser, the human aversion reflex should involuntarily cause you to look away before the laser has enough time to cause any damage. MAXSA Innovations has been selling this product for over a decade and has not had one case of these lasers causing harm.
13. How far will the laser beams reach?
Laser beams are highly concentrated beams of light that will persist for long distances and are more than capable of reaching anywhere in your garage or carport.
14. Will the Park Right Garage Laser Parks work outside the United States?
The Park Right Garage Laser Park devices work in any country that uses a 110V - 120V, 60Hz AC power source and A/B Plug Type. Otherwise you will need a power adapter. Be sure to check the electrical power standards of any country you visit if you plan to use an electrical device designed for US electrical power standards.
