OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating the light
Position the unit as desired. Press the light mode pushbutton on the front of the unit.
Press once for high intensity.
Press again for medium intensity.
Press a third time for to turn the light off.
Press and hold the light mode pushbutton for about five seconds for flashing LEDs.
On a single charge, the BarFlex® will provide steady illumination for approximately 6 hours on its
minimum (dimmest) setting; approximately 2.5 hours on its maximum (brightest) setting.
Operating the unit corded
Attach the appropriate charger as described in the "Charging/Recharging the Light" section. Operate
the unit as outlined in the previous section.
Adjusting the pivot tube
The pivot tube allows the BarFlex® to be tilted backward and forward to direct the illumination upward
or downward.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PRODUCT DAMAGE:
• Do not attempt to "force" the pivot tube beyond its maximum angle.
• The pivot tube was designed to tilt forward and backward only.
• The pivot tube was designed to be used when the unit is hanging or attached to a surface using
its magnetic base. Using it when the unit is placed on a level, non-metallic surface may cause the
BarFlex® to fall over and sustain damage.
• NEVER attempt to rotate the light tube itself. Always use the pivot tube to adjust the area of
illumination.
Using the carabineer hanging hook and magnetic base
The hanging hook and magnetic base allow you to position the BarFlex® for convenient, hands-free
operation. The hanging hook rotates 360° to direct illumination as needed.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PRODUCT DAMAGE:
• When the hanging hook is in use or the light is attached using the magnetic base, do not shake the light.
• When light is hung by the hanging hook or attached using the magnetic base, do not shake the light
or object that it is hanging from or attached to. Do not hang the light from or attach the light to any
electrical wires or anything that it is not secure.
• Only use the hanging hook for hanging the BarFlex®. The hanging hook is not intended to support
additional weight. Do not attach or hang anything additional to the light or risk of breakage may occur.

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 light unit
with a soft cloth moistened with a mild solution of water and detergent.
There are no user-replaceable parts. Periodically inspect the condition of the charger. Contact manufacturer
to replace any components that have become worn or broken.
Battery replacement/disposal
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The battery should last the service life of the unit. Service life is dependent on a number of factors
including but not limited to the number of recharge cycles, and proper care and maintenance of the
battery by the end user. Contact manufacturer for any information you may need.
SAFE BATTERY DISPOSAL
Contains a nickel metal hydride rechargeable battery pack, which must be disposed of
properly. Recycling is required. Failure to comply with local, state and federal
regulations can result in fines, or imprisonment.
Please recycle.
WARNINGS:
Do not dispose of the battery in fire as this may result in an explosion.
Before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent
shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire).
Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat as it may explode.

12 volt DC charger plug fuse replacement
The fuse in the plug end of the 12 volt DC charger protects the adapter' s charging circuit. If the 120 volt
AC charger operates, but the DC charging adapter does not, then this fuse may be opened (blown).
To replace the fuse:
1. Unscrew the end cap of the DC plug (counterclockwise).
2. Remove spring center contact and fuse.
3. Check fuse with a continuity checker.
