LANTERN OPERATION DETACHED FROM MAIN UNIT

6.2
The lantern may be removed for use away from the main unit by first sliding the top latch back and then lifting the
Lantern. as shown in Figure 8.
A barrel connector near the spring contacts on the back of the Lantern accepts either the AC recharge or DC
inverter power cable's lantern extension cord. If there is a current applied through the barrel receptacle, and the
lantern's on/oFF switch is on, the Lantern will light.

6.2.1 LANTERN OPERATION FROM DC SOURCE

The lantern can be powered from the main unit using the inverter power cable with attached lantern extension cord.
This allows great flexibility in positioning the lantern during tire inflation and during under-the-hood inspections.
(See Figure 91 If an alternative 1 2 volt DC source is available, the lantern can be powered from a standard 1 2 volt
accessory socket. The lantern draws 11 watts so operation from an automobile battery is very efficient. With a full
charge, a typical auto battery can power the lantern from 40 to 60 hours.
6.2.2 LANTERN OPERATION 11OV WITH AC RECHARGE ADAPTER
The AC recharger can be directly connected to the lantern using the barrel receptacle
on the lantern. The Lantern can be powered using the AC recharge Adapter if
household AC power is available. Powering the lantern from an AC source preserves
the charge on the main unit's internal battery.
