– The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or
pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).
– The extension cord should be kept dry and off the ground.
– Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
– When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.

WARNING: FIRE HAZARD: Never contact combustible material to the lens and never tape or tie the switch in the
on position.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• For household use only.
• High intensity discharge bulbs 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.
• 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 sealed lead acid battery.
• Use only with AC or DC charging adapter provided with unit. Plug in the charging adapter at the spotlight first, then plug into the
charging source.
• DO NOT OVERCHARGE: Charge up to 8 hours maximum using the AC charging method; up to 5 hours maximum using the DC
charging method.
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO USE THE AC CHARGER AND DC CHARGING PORT SIMULTANEOUSLY.
• After charging/recharging, disconnect the charger 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.
• Do not open body casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• 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 120 volt AC charger plug is damaged – return the charger to manufacturer for repair or
replacement.

READING THE BATTERY/CHARGE STATUS LED INDICATOR
The battery/charge status LED indicator lights solid green to indicate the battery is charged; solid red to indicate the battery is
operating at low voltage, and needs to be recharged.
The battery/charge status LED indicator flashes red while the unit is charging using the AC charging method. It will light solid green
when the unit is fully charged.
CHARGING/RECHARGING THE SPOTLIGHT
This unit is shipped in a partially charged state. Charge unit BEFORE FIRST USE using the 120 volt AC charger for 8 hours.

The battery/charge status LED flashes red when the unit is charging using the AC charging method.
Charging/recharging using the 120 volt AC charger
• Make sure the spotlight is off (the trigger lock is in the off position and the trigger is not depressed).
• Insert the barrel connector of the AC charger into the AC-to-DC charging port on the back of the unit. Insert the plug end into a
(powered) standard North American 120 volt 60Hz outlet. The battery status LED flashes red.
• Charge until the battery status LED lights green (approximately 7 to 8 hours).
Charging/recharging using the 12 volt DC charger
IMPORTANT: The battery/charge status LED does not light or flash when the unit is charging using the DC charging method.
• Make sure the spotlight is off (the trigger lock is in the off position and the trigger is not depressed).
• Plug the double pin tip of the supplied 12 volt DC charger into the 12 volt DC power and charging port on the back of the unit.
• Insert the 12 volt DC plug end into the accessory outlet of your vehicle or other 12 volt DC power source.
• Charge for approximately 5 hours.
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.
WARNINGS:
• TO AVOID THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE, CHARGE UP TO 8 HOURS MAXIMUM USING THE AC CHARGING METHOD; UP TO 5
HOURS MAXIMUM USING THE DC CHARGING METHOD.
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO USE THE AC CHARGER AND DC CHARGING PORT SIMULTANEOUSLY.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating the spotlight
IMPORTANT: While most HID spotlights take several minutes to achieve optimal brightness, this spotlight will light dimmer for
approximately 15 seconds, then brighten slightly to the correct brightness level. It was designed this way to function quickly; the
slight dimming is not a malfunction.
1. Disconnect from charger.
2. The on/off trigger is located in the front of the handle of the spotlight.
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 switch on the side of the unit.
Operating the unit corded
Plug the double pin 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. Operate the unit as outlined in the previous section.
Note:
When the 12 volt DC adapter is not in use, stores the 12 volt DC plug in the storage compartment located at the bottom of handle.
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 60 days.
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.
