Setup

1. Unpacking and Inspection

• Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
• Inspect the lantern for any signs of damage. If damaged, do not proceed with installation and contact customer support.
• Ensure all parts are present: lantern head, pole sections, base, and any mounting hardware.

2. Assembly

1. Connect the pole sections securely.
2. Attach the lantern head to the top of the assembled pole.
3. Attach the base to the bottom of the pole.

3. Placement and Mounting

For optimal performance, place the solar lantern in a location that receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Avoid shaded areas from trees, buildings, or other obstructions, as this will reduce charging efficiency.

• Switch the lantern to the "ON" position.
• Allow the lantern to charge in direct sunlight for at least 24-48 hours before its first use to ensure the battery is fully charged.

Automatic Operation

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Regularly clean the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. A clean solar panel ensures efficient charging.
• Wipe the glass lens and the lantern body with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Battery Care

• The integrated battery is designed for long-term use. If the light output significantly diminishes over time, the battery may need replacement. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a qualified technician for battery replacement.
• Ensure the lantern is stored in a charged state if not used for extended periods.

Seasonal Care

• During winter months or periods of reduced sunlight, the lantern's performance may be affected. Consider moving it to a sunnier location or storing it indoors if prolonged periods of low light are expected.
