OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Spotlight Operation
The Spotlight has a digital electronic dimmer control with three levels of brightness.
Depressing the Trigger Switch advances the brightness of the Spotlight from Dim to
Bright to Brightest.
Depress the Trigger Switch once to turn the Spotlight ON in the Dim setting. Depress
the Trigger Switch at one-second intervals to allow the internal circuits to set to the
next level.
Note:
Lower brightness operation extends Spotlight runtime.
The Spotlight may be locked in the ON position to provide continuous light at any
level without continuously depressing the Trigger Switch. Simply select the brightness
setting, then slide the Trigger Switch Lock to the LOCKED position. To turn the Spotlight
OFF, slide the Trigger Switch Lock to the UNLOCKED position.
The Spotlight's circuitry will automatically dim the light when the battery's power is
reducing. This preserves the runtime of the Spotlight. The circuit also prevents deep
discharge of the battery even if the Spotlight shuts down from battery discharge.
Recharge as soon as possible, as allowing a discharged battery to remain so will
reduce the battery life.
To lock the trigger into the ON position pull the Trigger Switch and move the Trigger
Switch Lock down. This will lock the trigger into the ON position. To shut it off, simply
move the Trigger Switch lock up to the OFF position.

Work Light Operation
ON/OFF operation of the Work Light is controlled by the Work Light Pushbutton. This
long-lasting light can continuously operate up to seven hours on a full battery charge.
This pushbutton also enables the Battery Status Display, a series of three LEDs. The red
LED indicates a discharged battery, the green LED indicates a fully charged battery
and the amber LED indicates a partially discharged battery.

12 VOLT DC
ADAPTER
Charging From a 120 Volt AC Source
• Make sure the Spotlight is OFF and the Trigger Switch is in the OFF position (not
depressed).
• Connect the 120 Volt AC Adapter's barrel tip to the Recharge Port on the bottom
of the unit behind the handle.
• Connect the plug end into a standard North American 120 volt AC outlet. When
a proper connection has been made, the Battery Charge Level Indicator LEDs will
light to indicate the unit is charging.
• Charge for 12-15 hours or until the green Battery Charge Level Indicator LED lights.
Charging From a 12 Volt DC Source
Make sure the DC source (jump-starter, battery pack, vehicle accessory outlet, etc.) is
12 volt DC and is able to supply at least one-half amp at 12 volt DC for 10 hours.
This means a battery pack should be charged with at least 5 amp hours capacity.
• Make sure the Spotlight is OFF and the Trigger Switch is in the OFF position (not
depressed).
• Plug the 12 Volt DC Recharge/Power Adapter's barrel tip into the Recharge Port on
the bottom of the unit behind the handle.
• Insert the fused 12 volt DC plug end into the accessory outlet of your vehicle or
other 12 volt DC power source. When a proper connection has been made, the
Battery Charge Level Indicator LEDs will light to indicate the unit is charging.
• Charge for approximately 3-4 hours, or until the green Battery Charge Level
Indicator LED lights.
Note:
Some vehicles require that the ignition be switched to the accessory position in
order to power the accessory outlet.
Do not charge for more than 4 hours using this method.
