Basic Lantern Setup Upon Receipt
The lanterns are shipped from the factory with batteries charged to at least 80% state-of-charge.
Since the lanterns must be at 100% state-of-charge at deployment, they will likely have to be
recharged after delivery by either placing them outside in direct sunlight for
5 to 10 days
(depending upon light conditions – see the Storage and Recharging Intervals section on page 15)
or using an
optional
battery charger pack connected to either the
optional
external charge port in
the lantern base or connected directly to the battery board with the lantern opened up. (Both the
optional battery charger pack and the optional external charge port are extra-cost options that
may be purchased directly from Carmanah after placing a lantern order through SILC
Contracting). While charging, a single decimal point on the lower right corner of the lantern’s
digital LED display will continually flash to indicate that charging is taking place; steady on
indicates the battery has fully charged.
The lanterns should never be deployed with the batteries at less than a
100%
state-of-charge. If
in the future the state-of-charge ever drops below
60%
during deployment, remove the lantern
from service for charging and troubleshooting.
Follow these basic set-up steps and lantern programming using the IR Remote Programmer after
receiving your new lantern:
Changing Modes
Step Action
1 The lantern is shipped in “Storage Mode”
Stor
. By quickly
tapping the optic head (or the “shoulder” of the lantern to the left
of the display) three times, you will be able to activate the digital
LED display, but not change modes or program the lantern.
2
Press & hold
the
Power Key
until the lantern flashes once and
the digital LED display turns on. When turned on, the LED
readout will display the flash characteristic it was previously set to
(if fresh from the factory, lantern will be set to factory default 174;
174 = FL 4 (0.4)).
3 To change between the
oFF
and
on
modes, press the
Power Key
until the lantern flashes. Then,
Press & Hold
the
Power Key
again for approximately five seconds. The LED display will
change to either
StAt on
(for on) or
StAt oFF
(for off); but while
transitioning to
oFF
, the display will momentarily show “
bYE
.”
