Setup Tips

1. On first use, place the lantern in direct sunlight and allow it to charge fully for 2 full days before switching on.
2. Ensure the solar panel faces the sun and is never obstructed by shade, leaves, or other objects.
3. To confirm on/off status, cover the solar panel or move it to a dim area — the light should activate within seconds.
