Congratulations on your purchase of the Orion RedBeam SP Self-Powered Red LED Flashlight! The RedBeam SP is a groundbreaking astronomy accessory that will never require replacement batteries. That’s right, never! Simply rotating the built-in handle on the RedBeam SP charges its internal battery and allows you to illuminate your astronomy equipment and observing charts. The RedBeam SP utilizes red LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) which allow you to retain your dark-adapted vision while still providing light.

Charging the RedBeam SP

The RedBeam SP is self-powered by rotating the built-in han- dle. When charging the flashlight, be sure the function switch is set to the flashlight icon and the power switch is set to the OFF position (Figure 1). Unfold the handle arm and grasp the end of the handle in one hand while holding the flashlight body firmly in the other hand (Figure 2). Rotate the handle clock- wise or counter-clockwise to charge the flashlight. Turning the handle continuously for a period of one minute will provide up to 15 minutes of light at the LO setting or 10 minutes of illumination at the HI setting. While you are turning the handle, the indicator light on the bottom of the flashlight (Figure 2) will shine to show the RedBeam SP is receiving charge.

You can fully charge the RedBeam SP with your computer by using the USB charge feature. Plug the male end of the included charge cable into the DC jack on the back end of the flashlight (Figure 3). Plug the USB end of the charge cable into the USB port of your computer. The indicator light on the bottom of the flashlight will shine when the RedBeam SP is

Operation

To turn the flashlight on once it has been charged, simply set the power switch to the LO or HI setting. Setting the switch to LO will illuminate three of the red LEDs while setting the switch to HI will illuminate all five LEDs for a wider and brighter beam. Be sure the function switch near the end of the flashlight is set to the flashlight icon, or the LEDs will not shine.
