If it says on, how does it ever get off so that it can come on again?

You flip the switch, right?

Some motion detectors use the interruption of primary power as a signal to
do something different than their regular action. Stay on, stay off, reset,
make an obscene noise, whatever.

You can spend your life trying to figure out what the combination is (and
never succeed) or just replace the unit.
