OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECHARGEABLE STREAMLIGHT SYCLONE
®
Safety
A. Use only Streamlight battery #13057. Dispose of worn out or damaged batteries
properly. Do not attempt to incinerate the battery as it may explode in a fire and never
allow it to short circuit.
B. A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under extreme usage or tempera-
ture. This does not necessarily indicate a failure. However, if the outer case seal is broken
and liquid gets on your skin: Wash the affected area promptly with soap and water.
Neutralize with a mild acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar. If battery liquid gets into your
eyes flush them with clear water for a minimum of ten (10) minutes and seek immediate
medical attention. (Medical note: The liquid is 25%-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.)
C. It is important to keep the two (2) holes on either side of the flashlight head/body and
pivot area/body clean and clear of debris.
OPERATION
The Syclone is designed for multiple applications, waterproof to 100 feet and quickly
becomes a hands-free light with its snap-on helmet attachment or optional elastic head strap.
The 360 degrees rotating clip fastens to belt, harness or pocket. Attachment points on the tilt-
ing head and clip accept hooks or lanyards. It features two (2) separate bulbs selectable by
swinging the switch to the right or left and adjustable focus. The light accepts either the
rechargeable nickel-metal hydride battery pack or, if needed, the 4 "AA" alkaline battery clip,
P/N 13056.
GENERAL
The on-off switch is located on the back of the tilting head. The center position is "OFF". Flip
the switch to the left for the LED backup light; to the right for the high intensity Krypton beam.
CHARGING
The charge is designed to hold the Syclone in virtually any position and charge without disas-
sembly. Two (2) self-tapping #8 x 2" screws are included to mount the charger; use 1/8"
holes. The charger can use four (4) interchangeable power cords; P/N: 22051 12V DC
cord with cigarette lighter plug (DC 1); P/N: 22050 12V DC Direct Wire cord (DC 2); P/N
22311 120V AC cord; P/N: 21725 230V AC cord.
Fully charge your Syclone before the first use. Several charge/discharge cycles may be neces-
sary to achieve full battery capacity. To charge the Syclone, turn it off and insert it into the
charger tailcap down until it snaps into place. The LED should light, indicating that the charge
current is flowing. A full charge is achieved in ten (10) hours. Normally, the Syclone can be
left on charge continuously. However, if the surrounding temperature is below 10 degrees F,
continuous charging is not recommended. Remove the Syclone from the charger by depressing
the pushbutton on the side of the charger holder. A fully charged Syclone should operate a
Krypton lamp for two (2) hours and an LED for over twenty four (24) hours.
VEHICLE INSTALLATION
: A shorted auto battery can easily start a fire. Use the proper insulated connectors
WARNING
and be sure that your installation is fused with a 1 amp slow blow fuse. If you are not skilled
