Preparing the unit for use

7.1 Charging the battery

The battery can be fully charged within approx. 2.5 hours (23316) / 3.5 hours
(23317). Before using the unit for the first time, fully charge the battery via the
charging cable socket (7). The unit has an automatic charging current cut-off
so that the battery cannot be overcharged.
The unit can be used while charging, but this is not recommended due to the
high temperature in hot environments. Recommended: Disconnect the charger
from the mains as soon as charging is complete. Charge the battery if you are
not going to use the product for a long time or if the battery is discharged.
Fully charge the battery at least every three months. Avoid deep discharging
and charge the battery soon after it is discharged.

7.2 Mounting on a tripod or bracket

The unit has several 1/4 inch threaded holes. This allows the light to be
mounted on a tripod, handle, magic arm or other mount. It can also be
mounted on the flash shoe of a camera or smartphone holder with the
enclosed mini ball head (11).

7.3 Diffuser

The luminaire comes with a removable diffuser. This can be snapped into the
recesses in the housing of the luminaire with its holders. It is removed by gently
lifting one of the tabs at the corners of the diffuser.
The diffuser changes the light characteristics. The light becomes softer as it is
more diffused. When the diffuser is used, the shadows are not so sharp-edged.
The luminous efficacy decreases because the light is emitted more widely.
Without the diffuser, the light becomes harder because it is more directional.
The shadows are more sharp-edged. The luminous efficiency increases because
the light is more focused on the subject.
