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.
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.
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 light mode select button
The spotlight offers two brightness modes.
When the spotlight is first turned on, the light is operating at maximum brightness. To operate the spotlight at
medium brightness, press the Light Mode Select Button on the back of unit once. Press it again to switch back
to maximum brightness.
Operating the unit corded
Plug the barrel tip of the supplied 12 volt DC adapter into the 12 volt DC power and charging port at the back of
the unit. 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 120 Volt AC Adapter is attached, 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 Locking Adjustable Stand
Snap the Locking Adjustable Stand up, invert the unit and set it upon a flat, stable surface for hands-free
operation.
Using the carry lanyard (optional accessory)
The carry lanyard may be used to carry the unit or to hang it for storage. Always adjust the slide on the cords to
keep the lanyard secure around any supporting object.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PRODUCT DAMAGE:
• When light is hung by the carry lanyard, do not shake the spotlight or object that it is hanging from. Do not
hang the spotlight from any electrical wires or anything that it is not secure.
• Only use the carry lanyard for hanging this spotlight. The carry lanyard is not intended to support additional
weight. Do not attach or hang anything additional to the spotlight 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 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.
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 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
Adapter 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.
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.
