Setup Instructions
1. Pop-up Tent Setup
- Unpack the Tent: Remove the tent from its carrying bag. It will be in a compact, folded state.
- Release and Unfold: Gently toss the tent onto a clear, flat surface. The tent's frame is designed to spring open instantly. Spread out the poles to fully extend the tent.
- Secure the Tent: Use the included stakes to secure the tent to the ground through the corner loops. For added stability, especially in windy conditions, deploy the guy ropes and secure them to the ground with additional stakes.
- Set up Porch (Optional): The tent doors can be set up as a front porch using the Night Cat Trekking Poles. Extend the trekking poles to the desired height and use them to prop up the door fabric, securing the corners with guy ropes and stakes.

2. Trekking Pole Assembly and Adjustment
- Assemble Sections: The trekking poles typically come in collapsed sections. Pull the sections apart until they click into place or are fully extended.
- Adjust Length: Locate the quick-locking system on each pole. Open the lever, adjust the pole to your desired length (typically 45-54 inches for general use, or longer for porch setup), and then firmly close the lever to lock it in place. Ensure the pole is securely locked before use.
- Attach Tips: Select the appropriate tip for your terrain (e.g., rubber tips for pavement, basket tips for snow or soft ground) and attach it to the bottom of the pole.

Operating and Usage
Tent Usage
- Ventilation: The tent features 2 large doors and 2 wide windows to allow for excellent airflow. Keep them open when possible to ensure good ventilation and reduce condensation.
- Capacity: The inner size of 9.5x6.6x4 ft is designed to comfortably accommodate 2 adults, with additional space for 1 to 2 children or extra camping gear. It fits a queen-size air mattress.
- Weather Protection: The tent is designed with water-resistant materials. While it offers good protection from rain, avoid touching the inner walls during wet conditions to prevent water from seeping through.

Trekking Pole Usage
- Ergonomic Grip: The poles feature an ergonomic EVA foam grip designed to mold to the shape of your hand, providing comfort and reducing fatigue during use.
- Wrist Straps: Utilize the adjustable breathable wrist straps to prevent chafing and provide additional support and security while trekking.
- Terrain Adaptability: The extended soft foam grip allows for comfortable handling on various terrains, including steep inclines or declines.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
- Tent: Hand wash the tent with mild soap and water. Do not machine wash or use harsh detergents, as this can damage the waterproof coating. Air dry completely before storing.
- Trekking Poles: Wipe poles clean with a damp cloth. Ensure all sections are dry before collapsing and storing to prevent corrosion.
Folding and Storage
Folding the pop-up tent is a key step for compact storage. Please refer to the following instructions:
- Collapse the Tent: Ensure all doors and windows are zipped closed. Lay the tent flat on the ground.
- Form an '8': Hold two opposite corners of the tent. Gently twist the tent into a figure '8' shape.
- Fold Twice: Bring the two circles of the '8' together, then fold the resulting shape in half again. This will create a compact, four-circle disc.
- Secure and Store: Use the attached elastic band or strap to secure the folded tent. Place it back into its carrying bag. The upgraded design allows for a 40% smaller package size compared to traditional pop-up tents.

Troubleshooting
- Difficulty Folding: If you are having trouble folding the tent, ensure you are following the 'figure 8' and double-fold method precisely. Practice may be required. Refer to the instructional video if available (no video provided in current data).
- Water Seepage: While the tent is waterproof, touching the inner fabric during rain can cause water to wick through. Avoid contact with the inner walls when wet. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.
- Poles Not Extending/Collapsing: Check the quick-locking mechanisms on the trekking poles. Ensure they are fully open when adjusting and fully closed when locked. Clean any dirt or debris from the pole sections.
