REPLACEMENT SOLAR CAP
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the 3 cap mounting screws from the top of the post that are used to fasten the existing cap. Remove the existing cap.
Flip the switch on the underside of the new cap to ON and orient the new cap so that the 3 holes in the cap are aligned with the 3 holes in the post. Reinstall the 3 screws.
Remove the protective plastic from the solar cap.
Let the cap charge in full sun for a complete day before expecting the sign to backlight. On cloudy days and in winter the solar panel will not generate as much electricity and the battery may not be charged to full capacity. On those days, the light may not last as long into the night and this is expected as with any solar device.
The cap includes a rechargeable AA battery which will need to be replaced every so often. When the battery needs replacing you can get a new battery at any big box hardware store in the solar lighting section. Choose a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) AA battery with the highest milliamp hour (mAh) rating available at the store. The mAh will be written on the batteries to be able to make this choice. Simply remove the 3 mounting screws and then the screws in the underside of the cap to replace the battery.
