Classy Caps SLC771B Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
If your solar light will not turn on, the most common issue is the battery. It could take up
to five days for a new solar unit to cycle to full capacity. Winter months will affect this
cycle time as well, if installed in the middle of winter. To test a solar unit, remove the
rechargeable batteries and replace them with standard alkaline batteries. Cover the
entire solar collector to test the unit. If the unit lights up, your unit requires the batteries
to be replaced.
Battery replacement is required every 1-2 years and is stated in the user manual and
copied below.
(Battery replacement is approximately 1-2 years) 1) Twist the solar lid counter clockwise
to remove from cap base as shown (fig.1). 2) Replace the battery with a new AA size
1.2 V Ni-MH rechargeable battery. Be sure to insert the battery in the proper direction.
3) Twist the lid back into place. 4) Allow the fixture to receive a full 24 hours of sunlight
to allow the rechargeable battery to reach maximum
capacity.
