Using the 12 Volt DC Accessory Outlet

Note: Do not operate the 12 Volt DC Accessory Outlet while charging/recharging using the 120 Volt AC Charger.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

All batteries lose charge with time, especially when they are warm. Recharge the unit every two months when not in frequent use, preferably using the 120 volt AC method.

Never submerge the unit in water. If the unit gets dirty, gently clean the outer surfaces of the spotlight unit with a soft cloth moistened with a mild solution of water and detergent.

The quartz halogen bulbs are the only user-replaceable parts in the Spotlight. Periodically inspect the condition of adapters, connectors and wires. Contact Technical Support toll-free at (800) 618-5178 to replace any components that have become worn or broken.

Spotlight Bulb Replacement

To replace either or both H3 type 12 volt 75 watt bulbs, you will need a small

Phillips type screwdriver and a replacement bulb (or bulbs). During installation, avoid touching the glass part of the bulb. Bulb life may be shortened by installing a bulb with dirt or fingerprints on it. The bulb can be wiped clean with a cloth moistened with alcohol.
