Page 4: Quick Start
Quick Start 1. Select an outdoor location where there’s direct sunlight. The location should not be near light sources such as porch lights or streetlights. 2. Charge the lantern for 8 to 10 hours in the sun. When using the lantern for the first time, do not slide the ON/OFF switch to the On position until it receives a full 8 hours of sunlight. - Page 5 How the Lantern Works During the day, the solar panels on the top of the lantern convert sunlight into electricity and recharge the built-in rechargeable 1.2V 600mAh AA NiCad batteries. At sunset, the light turns on automatically after an 8- to 10-hour solar charge. The lantern provides up to 15 hours of illumination.

Page 6: Choosing A Location
Choosing a Location Select an outdoor location where there’s direct sunlight so the lantern can receive at least 8 hours of sunlight each day. Shadowed locations prevent the batteries from fully charging and reduce the number of hours the lantern illuminates. The selected location should not be near light sources such as porch lights or streetlights. - Page 7 Assembling the Post 1.
