OPERATING THE LED LANTERN

The LED Lantern on the rear of the unit provides a magnified 6 LED beam. It is
controlled by the ON/OFF Switch located on the top rear of the handle (see the
"Control and Function Guide" on page 2).
Make sure the light is turned OFF when the unit is being recharged or stored.

OPERATING THE LED EMERGENCY LIGHT

The LED Area Light on the front of the unit is controlled by the ON/OFF Pushbutton
located on the top front of the handle (see the "Control and Function Guide" on
page 2).

CELL PHONE CHARGING

Attach the appropriate socket end (from among those supplied) to the small barrel tip
of the Cell Phone Charging Adapter cord and plug this into the cell phone. Plug the
barrel tip end of the cord into the Cell Phone Charging Port (see the "Control and
Function Guide" on page 2 of the User's Manual). None of the unit's features need
be on for cell phone charging to take place. The unit does need to be powered ("C"
batteries, 120 volt AC, 12 volt DC or the Dynamo Hand-Crank).
CAUTIONS
• Supplied cell phone charging tips may not work with all cell phones.
• Using the wrong tip may damage your device. Manufacturer is not responsible for
damage caused in this manner.
• Verify tip compatibility with your cell phone manufacturer or consult your cell phone
user manual before using this unit's cell phone charging feature.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Over time, dust or fingerprints may accumulate on the TV screen or LED Area Light.
If necessary, clean with a soft, clean, oil-free cloth moistened with household window
cleaner. Do not use alcohol based cleaners on plastic surfaces. This will eventually
cause surface clouding.

Replacement Parts

Check unit periodically and discontinue use if parts or accessories are found to be
damaged or defective. To replace worn or defective parts, contact Vector Customer
Service toll-free at (866) 584-5504.

Fuse Replacement

1. Using a screwdriver, open the fuse cover on the back of the unit (see the "Control
and Function Guide" on page 2) and remove the defective fuse.
2. Insert a replacement 2 amp standard buss type fuse into the fuse socket.
3. Close the fuse cover (turn counter-clockwise) – DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

12 Volt DC Adapter Plug Fuse Replacement

The fuse in the DC plug protects the charging circuit of the 12 Volt DC Adapter. If AC
recharging works, but DC charging does not, then the 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 replacement fuse with same type and rating.
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.
