3. Operating Instructions
Once activated and placed in a location that receives direct sunlight, your solar lantern will operate automatically:
- Daytime: The solar panel converts sunlight into electricity and charges the internal 600mAh rechargeable battery.
- Nighttime: The built-in light sensor detects darkness, and the LED bulbs automatically turn on, projecting decorative patterns.
Important Note: Do not place the solar lantern near other light sources (e.g., garden lights, streetlights), as this may prevent it from automatically turning on at dusk.
4. Maintenance
Battery Replacement
To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to replace the rechargeable battery every 12 months.
- The battery compartment is located at the bottom of the solar lantern.
- Switch the power button to the "OFF" position.
- Unscrew the battery compartment, remove the old battery, and insert a new rechargeable NiMH battery.
5. Troubleshooting
If your solar lantern is not functioning as expected, follow these sequential troubleshooting steps:
- Retry in total darkness: Ensure the lantern is in complete darkness to trigger the light sensor.
- Sun-charge and Test: Place the lantern in direct sunlight for 30 minutes. Do not press any buttons. Cover the solar panel to test if the light turns on.
