3. Use Guide
3.1 Charging the Lantern
- Connect the included USB cable to the charging port on the lantern (located under the protective cover).
- Plug the other end into a USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer, car charger).
- The green LED indicator will blink slowly while charging. When fully charged, the indicator will stop blinking or turn solid.
- Full charging takes approximately 7–8 hours.
Maintenance Tip: If the lantern is not used regularly, charge it every 3–6 months to maintain battery health. The built-in battery cannot be removed or replaced.
3.2 Turning On & Selecting Modes
- Press the ON/OFF switch once to turn on the lantern in the last used mode.
- Press the switch repeatedly to cycle through the four modes: Daylight → Warm Light → Both → Flash.
- To adjust brightness, press and hold the switch. The light will dim or brighten gradually. Release when the desired level is reached.
- Press and hold again to continue adjusting.
3.3 Using the Power Bank Function
- Ensure the lantern has sufficient battery charge.
- Connect your smartphone, tablet, or other USB device to the lantern’s USB output port using a compatible cable.
- Charging will begin automatically. The lantern can charge devices even when the light is off.
3.4 Removing the Cover for Focused Light
- Gently twist and pull the milky-white bulb cover upward to detach it.
- With the cover removed, the lantern provides a more concentrated, directional beam.
- To reattach, align the cover and press it back into place until it clicks.
3.5 Hanging the Lantern
- Use the slip-proof handle to hang the lantern from a tent ridge, tree branch, hook, or any suitable anchor point.
- Ensure the hanging point is secure and can support the weight of the lantern (approx. 1.13 lb).
3.6 Battery Status Indicator
The switch has a soft green blinking light that indicates battery power level:
- Blinking green: Battery is charging or has low power (depending on context).
- Solid green (or off when fully charged): Battery is fully charged.
This indicator also helps you locate the lantern in the dark during a power outage.
