BEAUTIFUL SOLAR LED BACKLIT ADDRESS POST HOUSE NUMBER SIGN

Made using PVC post Sleeve material, the addresses and graphics are computer cut using high performance black or UV printed vinyl to last years and years. They will not rust or rot and there is no paint to peel. Designed for long term outdoor use. The address number/silhouette will be solar LED backlit illuminated. One sided version is facing the street and the two sided version is parallel to the street for people to view from either direction while driving down the street. These lightweight easy to mount Address posts are great for helping to direct anyone to your property. Just pound the steel stake into the ground and slide the post sleeve over it. Installation should only take a minute or two. Gravity and set screws will take care of the rest and your address post should remain in place for years and years maintenance free to help direct friends and family and deliveries directly to your door.

OPTIONAL PERSONALIZED SIGN AND BRACKET
You can add an optional PVC Sign Bracket and PVC Hanging Sign to the address post. You can personalize the text on the sign with your name or whatever you like, add an optional silhouette graphic and choose the background color as well. The hanging sign number of sides will match the number of sides that you choose for the post (if you choose a 2 sided post, the sign will also be two sided). We do not predrill the holes for mounting the sign bracket in the post as it gives you flexibility to mount the sign on the side of the post that best suits your needs. To install the sign bracket simply holes it where you want it on the post and insert the screws into the bracket and using a screwdriver press the screw into the post and screw it in. Within a few seconds the screw will create a hole and your sign bracket will be attached - easy peasy.

SOLAR ADDRESS SIGN POST MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

About Your Address Post
Your address post has a solar cap that lights the interior to illuminate the letters. Where you install the post matters - the sunlight should hit the cap and the post should cast a well defined shadow for 4-8 hours per day to receive the longest charge for the battery. Since the battery is depleted every night, no matter where you install the address post, there will be some days where there is not enough sunlight and the solar cap will not receive sufficient electricity to fully charge and therefore the post will light only for a short time and sometimes will not light at all. Most nights it will illuminate, we just want you to have a realistic expectation. Also, on those nights where it does not light, it still has high contrast so that the pizza driver will easily see your address. As with all solar gizmos you can currently buy, this is to be expected and does not indicate a failure of the solar cap. In winter, the sun's rays hit the earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits the solar cap, and then it will not last as long into the night as in spring, summer and early fall. Be sure to regularly clean the cap and remove dirt, snow, and ice from the solar panel.

Installation / Mounting
The Solar Address Sign Post will need to be installed where the cap receives sunlight throughout the day. If mounted in a shady location it will not work properly. The light may or may not stay on until the morning, but it should turn on automatically every evening once charged and last for a number of hours. If the length of time that the light stays on is diminishing it may be time to replace the battery (see solar cap section below).

The solar cap is separate from the post for shipping purposes. Remove the 3 cap mounting screws from the top of the post. Flip the switch on the underside of the cap to ON and orient the cap so that the 3 holes in the cap are aligned with the 3 holes in the post. Reinstall the 3 screws.

Orient the green stake so that it matches the internal supports inside the post sleeve. Pound stake into ground to the line depth shown on decal, being careful not to mushroom the end of the stake over too much when pounding (a block of wood placed on the end helps).

Slide the address post over the stake. Screw the two stainless screws into the holes to capture the stake and hold the sign to the stake (the screws do not need to align with any holes in the stake). The screws hold the sign down by pressing against the hotsell stake and will likely bow out the post a little bit.

Bubbles
Minor bubbles are inherent in the application of the address decal or the wrap (if applicable). They will dissipate over the next week or two.

Solar Cap
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.
