PARTS IDENTIFICATION
CHARGING THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
Before charging, turn off the lantern.
Solar Charging:
1. Place the lantern on a flat surface with the solar panel in direct sunlight.
2. Allow 5-6 hours for a full charge. Solar charging will be most effective on a bright sunny day. It will
take longer to charge on a cloudy day.
3. Repositioning the lantern throughout the day will be required to make sure sunlight is effectively
charging the battery. This may require tilting the lantern to directly face the sun in the morning and
afternoon.
Dynamo Charging:
1. Open the HAND CRANK and rotate clockwise at approximately 120 cycles/minute for a minimum of one
minute. Winding for a longer period of time will yield longer power durations.
2. The red CHARGING INDICATOR on the lantern will illuminate during charging.
3. Close the HAND CRANK.
120V OR 12V Charging (adapter not included):
1. Purchase a 5V USB 120V AC or 12V DC vehicle charging cable from your local electronics retailer.
2. Connect the female USB adapter tip into the DC IN/OUT port and then connect the USB cable to charge the
unit.
LANTERN OPERATION

• 1 time for 3-LED
• 2 times for 6-LEDs

CELL PHONE CHARGING
The lantern is equipped to charge a variety of cell phones for emergency calls by hand cranking. Some smart
phones may not properly charge due to their specific requirements.
1. Plug the female USB adapter tip into the DC IN/OUT port and plug your cell phone’s USB charging
cable into the female USB.
2. Wind the HAND CRANK as described under Dynamo Charging for 1-3 minutes to generate power to
your cell phone. Longer winding times will increase cell phone talk time.
