Use the remote control to cycle through the four available lighting modes:

• Fade: Lights slowly dim and brighten.
• Jump: Lights change abruptly between brightness levels.
• Flash: Lights blink on and off.
• Steady: Lights remain continuously on at a constant brightness.

3. Charging

The primary charging method is via the monocrystalline solar panel. Ensure the panel is clean and exposed to direct sunlight. For situations with insufficient sunlight, the solar panel also features a USB-C port for alternative charging using the provided USB-C cable.
