1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing the Vector Sport Spot Lantern, an advanced design
combination spotlight and lantern. It instantly converts use from a powerful spotlight
to a soft, long-lasting area light. See Figure 1A and 1B. It uses a powerful
proven-technology, rechargeable, sealed lead acid battery that allows for years of
dependable use, recharge after recharge. It was designed from the ground up to
be the most versatile and practical light for travel, camping, picnicking, tailgate
parties and boating. The Sport Spot Lantern gives you the kind of light you need,
when and where you need it.

vehicles, boats, jump starters and portable battery packs. Vector has a variety of
portable power products that may be considered as companions to your Sport Spot
Lantern. Contact Vector for additional information.
