INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your new spotlight. Read this Instruction Manual and follow the instructions carefully before
using your new spotlight.
CHARGING/RECHARGING THE SPOTLIGHT
This unit is shipped in a partially charged state. Charge unit after purchase and BEFORE first use using the 120 volt AC charger
for 2 hours or until the battery status LED lights green. Charge after each use until the battery status LED lights green.
The battery status LED lights red when the unit needs recharging.
IMPORTANT: When the unit is not in use, we recommend that the battery is charged at least every 30 days.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Never place the light face down on any surface when charging.
• Failure to keep the battery charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor performance.
Charging/recharging using the 120 volt AC charger
• Make sure the spotlight is off (the trigger lock is in the off position and the trigger is not depressed).
• Insert the barrel connector of the AC charger into the 12 volt DC charging port on the back of the unit. Insert the plug end
into a (powered) standard North American 120 volt 60Hz outlet.
• Charge until the battery status LED lights green (approximately 1-1/2 to 2 hours).
Charging/recharging using the 12 volt DC charger (optional accessory)
• Make sure the spotlight is off (the trigger lock is in the off position and the trigger is not depressed).
• Plug the barrel tip of the supplied 12 volt DC charger into the 12 volt DC charging port.
• Insert the 12 volt DC plug end into the accessory outlet of your vehicle or other 12 volt DC power source.
• Charge until the green battery status LED lights (approximately 1-1/2 to 2 hours). DO NOT CHARGE FOR LONGER THAN 2
HOURS USING THIS METHOD.
Note:
When using a vehicle's 12 volt DC accessory outlet as a charging source, be aware that some vehicles require you to turn on the ignition to power the
accessory outlet.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: When either charger is plugged into the 12 volt DC port, the unit is in charging mode. The spotlight will not
run with either of the chargers plugged in.
Operating the spotlight
1. Disconnect from charger.
2. The On/Off trigger is located in the front of the handle of the spotlight.
3. To turn the spotlight on, squeeze the trigger.
4. To turn off the spotlight, release the trigger.
Note:
The On/Off trigger can be locked in the on position using the trigger lock bar on the side of the unit.
Locking the spotlight
To lock the spotlight in the on position, depress the On/Off trigger, then press the trigger lock bar. The spotlight will stay on
until the trigger unlock bar is pressed and the on/off trigger is released.
If the On/Off trigger is released when the trigger lock bar is pressed, the spotlight will be locked in the off position. To turn the
spotlight on again, press the trigger unlock bar before pressing the On/Off trigger.
Using the dimmer selectors
The up and down arrows adjust the light intensity. The down arrow dims the light. The up arrow brightens the light. A "beep"
will sound when the spotlight has been adjusted to its minimum (dimmest) and maximum (brightest) settings.
On a single charge, the spotlight will provide steady illumination for approximately 10 hours on its minimum (dimmest) setting;
approximately 50 minutes on its maximum (brightest) setting.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. When the unit is not in use,
we recommend that the battery is charged at least every 30 days.
Never submerge the unit in water. If the unit gets dirty, gently clean the outer surfaces of the spotlight unit with a soft cloth
moistened with a mild solution of water and detergent.
