Using this lantern is easy. Just find a good spot outside your home, like near the entrance, and hang it up. Make sure to connect it to a 110 V power source. When using, don't touch the LED lights directly with wet hands to avoid electric shock. As for maintenance, clean it gently with a dry cloth every once in a while to keep it looking nice. If you notice any problems with the LED show options, check the power connection first. Store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent the Capiz Shell from getting damaged.
