INSTALLATION & TROUBLE SHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS

• Remove the solar panel by lifting it straight up from the top of the cap.
• Remove the plastic tab in the battery compartment to allow for terminal connection.
• Ensure that the batteries are securely in place.
• Your solar post cap light will need 24-48 hours of sunlight to fully charge.
  Your Solar Tiffany-Style Post Cap is now ready to be installed on your post. To attach to the post, apply an exterior-grade construction adhesive to the inside edge of the molding at the bottom of the light and place it firmly onto the post.

The solar collector will charge the batteries during the daylight hours and power the light during darkness. Your solar post cap light will stay lit for an average of 6 to 8 hours during the night and turn off during the day, allowing the solar collector to re-charge the batteries.  The actual amount of direct sunlight received by the solar panel determines the length of time the light will remain lit after dark.

If your solar post cap light becomes dim or does not light, simply allow the solar collector to fully re-charge the batteries.

If your solar post cap does not light or stops working, try these steps:

1. Remove the metal top by pressing in on the side of the plastic lens.

2. Turn the metal top upside-down and place it on a table so that the solar collector is covered (not exposed to the light). A light sensor inside will prevent it from lighting during the day.

3. Make sure the protective plastic tab between the batteries and the terminals has been removed.

4. Make sure the batteries are making contact with the terminals.

5. Make sure the on/off switch is in the ON position.

6. If your solar post cap light still does not light, place it in direct sunlight with the switch in the OFF position for 48 hours to fully recharge the batteries. 

7. If your solar post caps light still does not light, replace the batteries with new AA rechargable batteries (available at www.ShopTJB.com)
