Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Locate the power button on the base of the lantern. Press once to turn on, press again to cycle through brightness modes, and press a final time to turn off.
- Brightness Modes: The lantern offers three brightness settings:
- Soft (40 Lumens): This is the default dusk-to-dawn mode. The lantern will automatically turn on at dusk and off at dawn.
- Medium (200 Lumens): For brighter ambient lighting.
- High (400 Lumens): For maximum illumination.
- Automatic Operation (Dusk-to-Dawn): When the lantern is set to the Soft (40 lumens) mode, its integrated light sensor will detect ambient light levels. It will automatically switch on when it gets dark and switch off when it becomes light. Ensure the solar panel is not covered for accurate sensor operation.
- Manual Operation: For specific brightness levels (200 or 400 lumens), the lantern will remain on until manually turned off or until the battery is depleted.

Maintenance

- Water Resistance: The IP44 rating protects against splashing water. Do not immerse the lantern in water or expose it to heavy jets of water.
- Bulb Replacement: The LED filament bulb is designed for long-term use and is generally not user-replaceable. If a bulb issue occurs, please contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lantern does not turn on. | Low battery charge. | Charge the lantern fully via solar power (direct sunlight) or USB-C cable. |
| Lantern does not turn on automatically at dusk. | Light sensor obstructed or in a brightly lit area. | Ensure the solar panel (which houses the sensor) is clean and not covered. Move the lantern to a darker location if necessary. Ensure it is in Soft (dusk-to-dawn) mode. |
| Light is dim or runtime is short. | Insufficient solar charging. | Relocate the lantern to an area with more direct sunlight. Ensure the solar panel is clean. Use USB-C charging for a full charge. |
| Water ingress. | Exposure to heavy rain or submersion. | The lantern is IP44 rated for splashes, not heavy downpours or submersion. Bring indoors during extreme weather. If water has entered, discontinue use and allow to dry completely before attempting to use again. |
