Charging/Recharging - Stanley FL5W10 Instruction Manual

• Use only with AC or DC charging adapters that are provided with unit. Plug in the charging adapter at the spotlight first, then plug into the
charging source.
• Do not overcharge: Recharge up to 5 hours maximum.
• 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.
• Do not open body casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Do not operate the spotlight without the lens in place.
• 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 is damaged – return the charger to manufacturer for repair or replacement.
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO WATERPROOF SPOTLIGHTS
The rubber "O"ring acts to preserve the waterproof qualities of the spotlight. The "O"ring contacts the end cap to prevent water from entering the
gap. An undamaged rubber "O"ring, rubber bezel and lens, and proper sealing of the end cap before use are very important.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Attempting to remove the rubber "O"ring; use of the unit with a damaged "O"ring, rubber bezel or lens; improper sealing of the waterproof end
cap; and/or submerging this unit in depths greater than 6 feet may cause the unit to no longer be waterproof. Do not submerge the unit if these
conditions exist or the unit could sustain permanent damage.
• Submerging this unit in depths greater than 6 feet and/or operating it in water temperature other than between 41ºF and 104ºF (5ºC and 40ºC)
could result in leakage, warping or malfunction, causing permanent damage to the spotlight.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your new spotlight. Read this Instruction Manual and follow the instructions carefully before using your
new spotlight.
READING THE BATTERY/CHARGE STATUS LED INDICATOR
The battery and charging status LED indicator is located directly above the 12 volt DC charging port under the waterproof end cap on the back of
the unit.
END CAP DETAIL
It lights or flashes in three colors to indicate the following:
When charging:
Green & Red (flashing alternately): Battery 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 of several minutes.
Green: Battery is in a fully charged state.
Orange: Battery is in a partially charged state.
Red: Battery needs to be recharged.
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.
Red (flashing): Battery is operating at extremely low voltage. The built-in low voltage protection has activated and the unit will automatically shut
down (after sounding several "beeps"). The unit must be recharged immediately.
When using the dimmer selector:
Green (flashing): The light is adjusting to dimmer setting.

CHARGING/RECHARGING THE SPOTLIGHT
This unit is shipped in a partially charged state. Charge unit BEFORE first use using either the 120 volt AC charger or the optional 12 volt DC charger
for approximately 3-5 hours. Charge after each use until the battery/charge status LED indicator lights green.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Make sure the unit is thoroughly dry before charging or recharging. If the unit has been submerged, wipe it dry with a soft cloth before opening
the end cap. If water leaks into the charging port, the unit can sustain permanent damage.
Charging/recharging using the 120 volt AC charger
• Make sure the spotlight is turned off by rotating the on/off power knob to the furthest position clockwise.
• Unscrew (counterclockwise) the waterproof end cap on the back of the unit and remove it.
• 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/charge status LED indicator lights green (approximately 3-5 hours).
• Replace the end cap on the unit, screwing clockwise until the triangular arrow on the end cap is pointing to the dot icon on the rear of unit.
Make sure it fits securely, but do NOT overtighten.
Charging/recharging using the 12 volt DC charger (optional accessory)
• Make sure the spotlight is turned off by rotating the on/off power knob to the furthest position clockwise.
• Unscrew (counterclockwise) the waterproof end cap on the back of the unit and remove it.
• 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 3-5 hours). DO NOT CHARGE FOR LONGER THAN 5 HOURS USING THIS METHOD.
• Replace the end cap on the unit, screwing clockwise until the triangular arrow on the end cap is pointing to the dot icon on the rear of unit.
Make sure it fits securely, but do NOT overtighten.
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.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• If either of the chargers is plugged into the spotlight while it is operating, the unit will not charge. The unit will begin charging once the
spotlight is turned off.
• If either of the chargers is plugged into the spotlight while the built-in low voltage protection is activated, the unit will automatically turn off
and begin charging.
• If the on/off power knob is turned on when charging, the spotlight may not operate until the charger is disconnected and the spotlight is turned
off, then on again.
• Once the unit begins charging, the spotlight will not operate until the charger is disconnected.
• When the battery/charge status LED indicator lights green, a "beep"will sound to indicate the charging process is completed.
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.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Never operate this spotlight unless the rubber "O"ring, rubber bezel and lens are intact and properly seated; and the waterproof end cap is
securely in place.
• Never operate the spotlight in areas with high strength magnetic fields, such as in the vicinity of AC power generator, etc.
• Never operate this spotlight at depths greater than 6 feet.
• Never operate this spotlight in water temperatures other than between 41ºF and104ºF (5ºC and 40ºC).
