Instruccions de funcionament
1. LED Area Lantern
- To activate the lantern, locate the power button, usually marked with a light bulb icon.
- The lantern features foldable panels. Gently unfold these panels to achieve a 360-degree area light.
- Press the power button again to cycle through brightness settings or to turn off the light.
- The lantern provides up to 100 lumens of light and can operate for up to 80 hours on a fresh set of batteries.
2. AM/FM/Weatherband Radio
- To turn on the radio, press the radio power button.
- Use the tuning knob or buttons to select your desired AM, FM, or Weatherband (WB) frequency. The unit features an easy-to-read digital display.
- Extend the antenna for improved reception.

3. Cell Phone Charging (USB Port)
- Locate the standard USB output port on the unit.
- Connect your device's charging cable (USB-A to your device's connector) to the USB port on the lantern.
- Ensure your device is properly connected. Charging will typically begin automatically.
- Note: This feature is intended for emergency charging of small devices. Charging speed may vary. Always use your device's original or certified charging cable.
4. Crank Power Operation

Resolució de problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Lantern or Radio does not turn on. | Depleted batteries or incorrect battery installation. | Replace batteries with new ones, ensuring correct polarity. Use crank power if batteries are unavailable. |
| Mala recepció de ràdio. | Senyal feble, antena no estesa o interferències. | Extend the antenna fully. Reposition the unit for better signal. AM reception may be inherently weaker in some areas. |
| Digital tuner knob is not smooth or skips frequencies. | Characteristic of the tuning mechanism. | Adjust slowly and carefully to find the desired frequency. The unit should maintain frequency once set. |
| Blue LED light above tuner is too bright and cannot be turned off. | Designed as an indicator light. | This is a fixed feature. If desired, cover the LED with a small piece of opaque tape. |
| Cell phone not charging via USB. | Incorrect cable, device incompatibility, or insufficient power. | Ensure you are using a compatible USB charging cable for your device. Verify the unit has sufficient power (fresh batteries or adequate cranking). Some devices may draw too much power for this emergency charger. |
