Installation and Operation Manual

for the

STI Solar Powered Lighted

House Number

Model STI-30325

Thank you for purchasing this quality product. We wish you to assure you that your
satisfaction is very important to us. Yet, it is important that you take the time to read
this manual very carefully to get the most from your new product.

HOW THE PRODUCT WORKS

Your Solar Powered Lighted House Number uses energy from sunlight to charge a
set of batteries inside. Then, when the sun goes down, these batteries power two
lights behind the display panel on the front of the device.
As explained herein, you remove sections of the display
digits to create your house number.

WORKING WITH THE SUN

For your Lighted House Number to function properly, it must be located in a place
where sunlight can reach it directly. The solar panel, which is located on top of the
product, must receive bright light for most of the day to fully charge the batteries.
Less sunlight translates into dimmer lights and shorter visible time during the night.

Caution: Do not mount the Lighted House Number in the shade, under trees,
or anywhere without direct exposure to sunlight.

Also, during winter the sun’s arc is lower in the sky and days are shorter. This
results in less power coming to the solar panel and less charging time. Depending
on your location, overall performance of your Lighted House Number may be
reduced during these months.

STEP 5

Using a sharp implement such as that
enclosed, carefully peal away the number
segments where you want the light to show
through. You can create up to 5 digits for
your house number.

To the right is an example of how to create the
various numbers.

STEP 6

Replace the black number panel. Then replace the
top section of the unit and insert screws by turning
screwdriver clockwise.

STEP 7

If you are planning to mount your Solar
Power House Number in the ground, then
assemble the tubes as shown and insert
them into the two circular openings.

STEP 8

You have a choice of two types of
installation to maximize your amount of
sunlight — mounting in the ground (right)
or mounting on the side of a wall. Be
sure to do each correctly for best results.

STEP 9

If you prefer a wall mount, push out the
knockouts inside the mounting holes on
the back with a small screwdriver or
sharp implement — or by using both.

CHANGING THE BATTERIES

“But shouldn’t a solar powered product run
forever?” you might ask. The batteries in your
Lighted House Number can be automatically
recharged about 500 times. Since they will be
charged and discharged every day, they can be
expected to last about 18 months. At that time
they should be replaced. You can use either
Nickel Metal Hydrate (NI-MH) or Nickel
Cadmium (NiCd). The size is AA and any brand
will work. CAUTION: Do not use alkaline or

other non-rechargeable batteries. Doing so
could cause leakage and other damage.
