Using your Personalized Christmas Lantern is easy. First, open the battery compartment at the bottom of the lantern and insert the included batteries. Once the batteries are in, switch on the lantern. You can place it on a table, a mantel, or any flat surface in your home to add a warm, festive glow. When handling the lantern, be gentle as it's made of plastic and can break if dropped. Keep it away from water to prevent damage to the battery and the internal components. To clean the lantern, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away any dust. If there are stubborn stains, you can lightly dampen the cloth with water, but make sure to dry it thoroughly afterwards. Enjoy this beautiful lantern for many holidays to come!
