A two-position ON/OFF toggle switch controls the operation of the lantern. The
lantern can be continuously lit for up to 1-1/2 hours on a full battery charge. Never

Lantern Bezel (2), the Position Release Pushbutton (3),

AC CHARGING

DO NOT operate Lantern while charging.
Make sure that the AC charger is powered from the correct AC source. It must

only be powered from 110 Volts AC 60 Hz and kept dry. Only use a household
extension cord with this Lantern. Substituting for another way will damage the
Lantern's internal charging circuits and void the warranty.

To recharge the Lantern refer to Figure 2. Simply plug a household extension cord
into the AC charge port located on the rear base of the Lantern. Plug the AC
charger/adapter into a standard 110 VAC 60 Hz electric socket. Observe that
the red LED lights, this indicates the Lantern is charging. A flashing red LED indi­cates the Lantern is fully charged.
