• Lift the protective cover located on the back of the unit and connect a standard North American 120 volt AC extension cord to
the built-in 120 Volt AC Charger.
• 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.
• Insert the barrel tip of the supplied 12 Volt DC Adapter into the 12 Volt DC Power and 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
The 5-Position On/Off Trigger turns the unit on and off, and is also used to choose the following modes:
FULL – all LEDs;
HIGH – Main Beam LED in its high (brightest) setting;
LOW – Main Beam LED in its low (dimmest) setting; or
HALO – 8 Area LED lights.
Operating the spotlight cordless
To use the spotlight in cordless mode, disconnect the Charging Adapter after fully charging the unit. Then select the desired
light mode, as follows:
To turn the spotlight on and use the Main Beam LED and 8
area lights at once
To use the Main Beam LED alone in its brightest setting
To use the Main Beam LED alone in its dimmer setting
To switch the spotlight to HALO mode, using just the 8 area
LED lights
To turn the spotlight off
Notes:
The battery/charge status LED indicator will light in one of three colors (as described in the "Reading the Battery/Charge Status LED Indicator" section)
to indicate the battery status.
If the spotlight's internal lithium-ion battery level is too low (the battery/charge status LED indicator lights red), the built-in low voltage protection may
activate after a short period of operation, then the unit will automatically shut down. This is a special feature to protect the unit's internal lithium-ion
battery from damage. Recharge the battery before continuing use.
If the spotlight's internal lithium-ion battery becomes hot, it may automatically operate in LOW (Main Beam LED alone in its dimmer setting) even
when HIGH or FULL mode is selected. This is a special feature to protect the unit's internal lithium-ion battery from overheating.
Operating the unit corded
Plug the barrel tip of the supplied 12 volt DC adapter into the 12 volt DC power and charging port on the bottom of the unit (next
to the On/Off Trigger). Insert the plug end into the accessory outlet of your vehicle or other 12 volt DC power source. Operate the
unit as outlined in the previous section.
IMPORTANT: The spotlight will operate while the built-in 120 Volt AC Charger is connected to a functioning power source, but
will continue to draw power from the unit's Lithium-Ion battery while the spotlight operates. This may cause the low voltage
protection to activate and shut the spotlight down. Manufacturer recommends only operating the unit in corded mode using
the 12 Volt DC Adapter.
Using the Swing-up Stand
Lift the Swing-up Stand up, invert the unit and set it upon a flat, stable surface for hands-free operation.

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 3 to 6 months.
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.

There are no user-replaceable parts. Periodically inspect the condition of adapters, connectors and wires. 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 lithium-ion battery, which must be disposed of properly. Recycling is required. Failure to comply with
local, state and federal regulations can result in fines, or imprisonment. Contact your local waste management
authority to dispose of this product.
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 Adapter plug fuse replacement
The fuse in the plug end of the 12 Volt DC Adapter protects the adapter's charging circuit. If the 120 Volt AC Charger operates,
but the DC 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.
4. If blown, locate a replacement 5 amp fuse.
5. Replace the fuse, spring, contact and end cap.
6. Screw end cap clockwise until it is finger tight – DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
7. Test for proper operation of the 12 volt DC adapter.

TROUBLESHOOTING
