Setup: Battery Installation

1. Locate the Battery Compartment: The battery compartment is located at the base of the lantern.
2. Open the Compartment: Twist the base counter-clockwise to unlock and remove the battery cover. It may require firm but gentle force to open, especially on first use.

4. Close the Compartment: Align the battery cover with the base and twist clockwise until it is securely locked. Ensure a tight seal to protect against dust and moisture.
