Battery Charging And Capacity; Reading Battery/Charge Status Led Indicator; Charging/Recharging The Spotlight - Stanley SL3HS Instruction Manual

– The extension cord should be kept dry and off the ground.
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD:
• Never contact combustible material to the lens.
• Keep spotlight lamp away from materials that may burn.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• All lights give off heat:
– Do not touch lens while operating.
– Keep combustibles away from spotlight lens. Extreme heat can cause fires.
– Never place the light face down on any surface when lit, charging or not in use. Never store the light face down on any
surface.
• Never look directly into the light or shine the light into another person's eyes.
• Keep sharp objects away from lens — it is glass and can break.
• Do not immerse spotlight in water.
• Do not expose this unit to extremely high temperatures.
• Do not drop or throw spotlight. It contains glass and a lithium-ion battery.
• Use only with the charging adapter provided with unit. Plug in the charging adapter at the spotlight first, then plug into the
charging source.
• After charging/recharging, disconnect charging adapter or extension cord and wait 5 minutes before use.
• Do not crush, cut, pull or expose charging adapter cords to extreme heat.
• Position charging adapter cords so they do not become entangled or become a safety hazard. Keep charging adapter cords
away from sharp edges.
• Use in a dry location only.
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to disassemble any other parts of the unit.
• To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting.
• Do not attempt to charge the unit if the charger or cord is damaged – return the charger to manufacturer for repair or
replacement.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, BURST HAZARD, OR INJURY TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY:
Lithium-ion batteries are small, compact and ideal for providing long-lasting power to this unit. However, they must be used
and charged properly. Improper use can result in serious injury, fire, or death.
• Lithium-ion batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition. Do not use the product in the presence of an open flame.
• Do not place this lithium-ion battery powered unit in fire or apply heat to it.
• Do not subject this lithium-ion battery powered unit to strong impacts or shocks. The battery in this unit contains safety and
protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture or ignite.
• Do not expose this lithium-ion battery powered unit to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet.
• Avoid storing this lithium-ion battery powered unit in the basement, bathroom or other areas of the house that are or may
become wet or humid or where moisture may concentrate.
• Do not leave this lithium-ion battery powered unit in direct sunlight, or use or store the unit inside cars in hot weather. Doing
so may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of
performance and a shortened life expectancy.
• Never charge this unit near heat or flammable objects.
• NEVER THROW WATER ON A BURNING LI-ION BATTERY! If a lithium-ion battery does catch on fire, it will burn even more
violently if it comes in contact with water or even moisture in the air. A fire extinguisher must be used.

Battery Charging and Capacity

This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time.
When stored at room temperature with a full charge, Li-ion batteries will will begin to discharge from the time they are
manufactured, even when unused. Deep discharges also decrease their capacity. Battery life can be extended by the following:
• Charge battery to full capacity before storage.
• Optimal storage temperature for this unit is between 5°C and 20°C (41°F and 68°F).
• Never discharge the battery fully.
• Charge after each use.
• Always charge at least once every 3-6 months if not in frequent use to prevent overdischarge.
Transportation of Lithium-Ion Batteries
• Always check all applicable local, national, and international regulations before transporting a unit containing a Lithium-Ion
battery.
• Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or recalled battery may, in certain cases, be specifically limited or prohibited.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your new Stanley 1M Lithium-Ion LED Spotlight
instructions carefully before using your new spotlight.
READING THE BATTERY/CHARGE STATUS LED INDICATOR
The battery and charging status LED indicator is located on the top of the unit. It lights or flashes in three colors to indicate
the following:
When charging:
Green: Battery is in a fully charged state.
Orange (flashing): Battery is in a partially charged state.
Red (flashing): Battery needs to be recharged.
Green & Red (flashing alternately): The battery of the unit is overheated due to extensive use or recharging. The charging
process will stop at this stage and will automatically resume after a cool down period.
When operating:
Green: Battery is operating at full voltage.
Orange: Battery is operating at partial voltage.
Red: Battery is operating at low voltage, and should be recharged.
Green & Red (flashing alternately): The battery of the unit is overheated due to extensive use or recharging. Operation will
stop at this stage and will automatically resume after a cool down period.

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 Adapter
for 6 hours or until the battery/charge status LED indicator lights green.
Recharge after each use until the battery/charge status LED indicator lights green.
IMPORTANT: When the unit is not in use, we recommend that the battery is charged at least every 3 to 6 months.
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 Adapter
• Make sure the spotlight is off.
• Lift the protective cover on the back of the unit and insert the barrel connector of the AC Adapter into the 12VDC Charging
Port.
• Insert the plug end into a (powered) standard North American 120 volt 60Hz outlet.
• Charge until the battery/charge status LED indicator lights green (approximately 6 hours).
Charging/recharging using the 12 Volt DC Adapter (optional accessory)
• Make sure the spotlight is off.
• Lift the protective cover on the back of the unit and insert the barrel tip of the supplied 12 Volt DC Adapter into the 12VDC
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 battery/charge status LED indicator lights green (approximately 4-6 hours).
Notes:
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.
WARNING:TO AVOID THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• NEVER CONNECT THE UNIT TO A POSITIVE GROUNDED VEHICLE.
• The 12 Volt DC Adapter must only be connected to batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts. The unit will not
operate from a 6 volt battery and will sustain permanent damage if connected to a 24 volt battery.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
